Randy Moss was a highly sought-after college football recruit before he became a Heisman Trophy<\/a> finalist and a Fred Biletnikoff Award winner.<\/p>\n

Moss\u2019 dream was to go to Notre Dame<\/a> and signed a letter of intent to play for the Fighting Irish in 1995. However, a fight he was involved in led to Notre Dame denying his enrollment application, and he would eventually make his way to Marshall, where he would star for the Thundering Herd.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Moss appeared on the “ManningCast” and talked about Tennessee\u2019s recruitment of Moss before he planned on playing for Notre Dame. Peyton Manning, who was a budding star quarterback at the time, was meant to convince Moss to join the Volunteers, but things hit a snag.<\/p>\n

“What was crazy was that my initial visit to Tennessee wasn\u2019t as crazy because \u2026 my first visit to Notre Dame was special because that\u2019s where my heart was,” Moss explained. “So, when I went to Tennessee, all I heard was \u2018Peyton Manning\u2019s in Virginia at a family member\u2019s house. He\u2019s trying to drive back here just to recruit you.\u2019 And I was like well if he\u2019s driving here just to recruit me, why isn\u2019t he here right now to get me?”<\/p>\n

Moss joked that it was Manning\u2019s lack of punctuality that cost Tennessee a star recruit.<\/p>\n

“So, it was kinda like Peyton being late. He wasn\u2019t punctual so that was the reason why I didn\u2019t become a Volunteer,” he said.<\/p>\n

Manning explained he was visiting his then-girlfriend, now wife, and drove back to Tennessee<\/a> at 3 a.m. to meet with Moss. However, the wide receiver\u2019s heart was set on Notre Dame before everything played out.<\/p>\n

Moss, Manning, Charles Woodson and Ryan Leaf would all be finalists in 1997 for the Heisman Trophy. It was Woodson who took it home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
