former UW utility back turned versatile defensive playmaker
In the 2005 season, Durrell Moss was a fascinating Swiss Army knife for Washington, moving from safety to linebacker to fullback to cornerback and still producing 15 tackles, a sack, and a punt return in limited action[2]. His best flash came against USC, where he made his first career start and led the Huskies with 10 tackles while adding the team’s only sack[1][2]. The big differentiator: he brought running-back instincts from high school and a tough, adaptable mentality to a defense that needed bodies everywhere[1][2].
