Summary
He's a legit four-star prospect, had offers from some of the best programs in college basketball, and is playing like one of the best freshmen in the country. But there's something bigger at play here than just basketball for Moses Moody. He wants to have an impact—both on and off the court. Moody "gets it," and understands that there is power in the path he chooses to follow. How'd he get this wise-beyond-his-years perspective? It's rooted in his family life, but also in having to deal with big expectations from a young age. Those expectations took him from state champion at North Little Rock High School to prep school star at Montverde Academy. And even though Moody spent some time away from his home state, he's motivated to make sure people know exactly what Arkansas is all about. With his talents—both on and off the court—Moody will be putting on a show for years to come.
