As the nephew of the late Quentin Moses—a University of Georgia football legend and former Miami Dolphins defensive standout—Jonathan Moses has long understood the weight and honor of legacy. Now, the rising senior from New Manchester High School in Douglasville, Georgia, is writing his own story—grounded in excellence, discipline, and a relentless drive to lead both on and off the field.
A standout varsity linebacker, Moses was named to the 2024 GHSA 5A All-Region Team, recognition earned through his physical presence, deep understanding of the game, and relentless work ethic.

But Moses’s commitment extends far beyond the gridiron. A 3.4 GPA student, he is actively involved in the National Beta Club and the AVID Program, both of which fuel his passion for academic excellence and personal growth. Through these programs, he has sharpened his time management and organizational skills while juggling a demanding honors course load alongside a varsity athletic schedule.

His passion for art reflects a mind that is both creative and analytical—qualities that serve him well when breaking down film or designing intricate sketches. “Art helps me see the game differently,” he says. “It trains me to observe, anticipate, and think beyond the obvious.”
Looking ahead, Moses plans to pursue a degree in Architectural Engineering or Sports Medicine, seeking a college program that challenges him academically while developing him as a student-athlete. He brings to the table not only a legacy worth honoring, but also the character, talent, and leadership to be a force in his own right.
