(BCSNN) — Stanford head coach Tavita Pritchard announced the hiring of Jamey Mosley as the Cardinal’s defensive line coach, adding a former Alabama walk‑on turned national champion who spent the last five seasons on the Crimson Tide’s defensive staff.
Mosley, a Mobile, Ala., native, worked with Alabama’s defensive line as a graduate assistant and defensive analyst from 2021–25. He was part of multiple top‑20 defensive units, including the 2025 group that helped propel the Crimson Tide to the College Football Playoff while ranking 13th nationally in total defense and tied for 19th in tackles for loss.
Pritchard praised Mosley’s background and coaching trajectory. “Jamey Mosley embodies everything we want in a Stanford football coach — competitor, connector, and a championship mindset,” Pritchard said. “He’s a rising star in this profession, and I’m excited for our defensive linemen to develop under his leadership.”
Mosley expressed gratitude for the opportunity and highlighted the program’s vision. “My family and I are extremely blessed and honored to be joining this prestigious program,” he said. “The vision for this program has been clearly articulated: servant leadership, brotherhood, commitment, discipline, toughness, and pride.”
During his time at Alabama, Mosley worked with several standout linemen, including LT Overton, a 2025 Campbell Trophy semifinalist and SEC Community Service Team selection. He also contributed to the development of future NFL draft picks such as Tim Smith, Jah‑Marien Latham, Justin Eboigbe and Byron Young.
Alabama’s defensive line consistently ranked among the nation’s best during Mosley’s tenure. The 2023 unit finished 14th nationally in sacks per game and 18th in total defense, while the 2022 group ranked ninth in scoring defense and 13th in total defense.
Mosley joined Alabama’s staff after brief stints with the New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals. He played linebacker for the Crimson Tide from 2016–18, appearing in 30 games and contributing to the 2017 national championship team.
Mosley and his wife, Savannah, have one son, Major.
