Jarvis Moss played defensive end for Ron Zook and Urban Meyer from 2003-2006. He came to Gainesville from Denton, Texas after being in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl and Parade All American. In 2005 and 2006, Moss racked up 15 sacks. He sacked Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith twice during the national title game, but the play everyone will remember came weeks earlier when Moss blocked what would have been a game-winning field goal with 8 seconds left against South Carolina. UF would go on to win the game 17-16. Moss also blocked an extra point earlier in the game. Jarvis was named First Team All-American in 2006 and was selected by the Denver Broncos with pick #17 of the 2007 NFL Draft.
Trivia: The Denver Broncos traded up with the Jacksonville Jaguars to get Jarvis Moss with pick #17. The Jaguars used that pick to select a fellow Gator, Reggie Nelson.
