Kansas State transfer safety Qua Moss commits to Tennessee

1 week ago 2

Former Kansas State safety Qua Moss has committed to Tennessee, via the NCAA Transfer Portal. Moss only spent one season at Kansas State.

In his lone campaign with the Wildcats, Moss made 12 appearances. He tallied 41 tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and two interceptions.

Before transferring to Kansas State, Moss played the 2024 season at the University of West Georgia. He started in all 11 of his appearances for the team. He recorded 56 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, five sacks, four pass breakups and a forced fumble.

Qua Moss began his collegiate career at Dodge City Community College, a JUCO program. As of this report, Moss is the No. 20 safety in On3’s 2026 Transfer Portal Player Rankings.

Moss will be a welcome addition to Tennessee’s roster. The Volunteers have already lost over 15 players to the transfer portal this offseason, including standouts such as offensive tackle Lance Heard, safety Boo Carter and cornerback Rickey Gibson.

Tennessee finished the 2025 campaign with an 8-5 overall record and a 4-4 mark in conference play after suffering a 30-28 loss to Illinois in the Music City Bowl. It was a step backward for the Volunteers, who posted 10 wins in the 2024 season.

Next season will be head coach Josh Heupel‘s sixth season at the helm of Tennessee. Heupel is determined to lead the Volunteers to a bounce-back season.

“This has got to be something that you take with you through the offseason and help use it as motivation and give us a chance to get better and get stronger,” Heupel said of Tennessee’s bowl game loss. “We’ll be back ready to roll in ‘26, I promise you that.

“… Feel really good about what we have coming back, what we have coming in, and then we’ve got to go get some guys here in the portal. Then, we’ve got to build a football team, which is what you have to do every year when you get back in January.”

Qua Moss is certainly an excellent first domino to fall for Tennessee. Heupel will look to build on the Volunteers’ momentum as the New Year progresses.
