Mike Mosley is the kind of guy
who can beat a person in just about
anything.
Mosley, quarterback for Texas
A&M, has a rare ability to excel in
almost any sport he chooses. The
freshman from Humble has been
splitting time between track and
football this spring and has done well
in both.
Mosley knew that he would not be
able to run track full time when he
signed with A&M.
“Coach Bellard told me when I
signed that I would not be able to run
track during spring training my
freshman year,” the sophomore-to-
be said. “He wanted me to dedicate
all my time to learning the offense
properly without worrying about
track.”
Head football coach Emory Bel
lard has allowed Mosley to run in two
meets since spring training started.
Mosley ran in the triangular meet
ast week at Kyle Field, but he did
not compete in the Texas Relays two
weeks ago because he was too sore
From football practice.
“I’m too little to go out there and
M^jrun on S turday after getting thrown
around all week at football practice, ”
Mosley said. “I don’t have the
A J strength to run like Curtis (Dickey)
6[||>as.”
Dickey is also running track and
alaying football, and at 205 pounds
le is better equipped to handle the
weekly beating he receives during
ipring training.
Mosley presently weighs 173
pounds. He has lost ten pounds since
spring training started. Mosley said
:he coaches would like him to pick up
hose ten pounds and weigh about
185 so he can “survive” next football
season.
There’s a lot of difference in work
ing out for football and getting in
shape for track,” Mosley said. “In
ootball you only run 40-yard sprints
but in track you just run your tail off.
just about died after running that
sprint relay Saturday.” Mosley ran a
otal of 100 meters in the Aggies’
100-meter relay team against LSU
20(1! uni Baylor.
Mosley who will be leading the
White team Saturday in the annual
VVW Maroon and White game, has some
thoughts about next year and the up
coming football season.
“I just hope I can stay healthy
through next football season,” he
said. “We re going to play a lot of
tough teams that can hit and I’m
going to need to be in shape to get
away from those huge tackles trying
to kill me. ” Mosley sees one differ
ence between himself and last year’s
Aggie quarterback, David Walker.
“David got hurt because when he
?ot hit he took the whole shot
traight on; whereas I think I’m a
little quicker and I’m able to dodge
those hard shots. I think the only way
I’ll get hurt is if I get blindsided.’
Mosley is looking forward to
finishing up football for the spring
and getting back into track. He will
run with the team April 29 at the
Drake Relays.
Mosley is glad he was able to run
track this year because he says it
helps him play football.
“Running the hurdles really im
proves my agility and spring in my
legs,” he said. He also said that foot
ball has helped him in track. “Lifting
weights for football has helped my
overall strength and I feel much
stronger going over the hurdles.”
Mosley has been a welcome addi
tion to both the football and track
programs this year. In track, he qual
ified for the national meet the first
time he ever ran the 110-meter hur
dles. Mosley had worked out only
three days before running a 13.7 to
win the event that day and qualify for
the NCAA meet. He has the best
time in the Southwest Conference in
the 100-meter hurdles (13.52). Mos
ley will also be running the first leg
