Once Caleb Williams' backup at USC, Miller Moss threw a Holiday Bowl-record six touchdowns before finishing his college career as Louisville's starter and signing with Chicago as an undrafted free agent.
Miller Moss's college career spanned two blue-blood programs and one signature bowl performance that announced his arrival. After years of waiting behind Caleb Williams at USC, he got his shot, dazzled in a bowl game, started a season, lost his job, and rebuilt his stock with a senior year at Louisville. He now enters the NFL as an undrafted free agent quarterback competing for a roster spot in Chicago.
Path to the league
A four-star recruit out of Bishop Alemany High School in Mission Hills, California, Moss committed to USC and spent 2022 and 2023 as Caleb Williams' backup. He transferred to Louisville in December 2024 for his final season of eligibility, then went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft before signing with the Bears.
Career highlights
Moss's signature moment came in the 2023 Holiday Bowl, where he made his first career start in relief and threw a Holiday Bowl-record six touchdown passes to lead USC past Louisville, earning offensive MVP honors. Named USC's starter in 2024, he opened the season 9-1 before losing his job late in the year. Across his full college career he completed 543 of 834 passes for 6,148 yards, 43 touchdowns and 17 interceptions.
2025 season recap
Moss started all 12 games for Louisville in 2025, completing 64.2 percent of his passes for 2,679 yards, 16 touchdowns and seven interceptions, missing only the Governor's Cup game against Kentucky due to a foot injury. He capped the season by earning MVP honors in Louisville's 27-22 win over Toledo in the Boca Raton Bowl.
