STANFORD, Calif. – Jamey Mosley has been named Stanford’s defensive line coach, as announced by Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football Tavita Pritchard. A former walk-on turned significant defensive contributor for Alabama’s 2017 national-title-winning defense, Mosley comes to The Farm after spending the past five seasons on the Crimson Tide’s defensive staff.
"Jamey Mosley embodies everything we want in a Stanford football coach – competitor, connector, and a championship mindset,” said Pritchard. He's been a part of excellent defenses, both as a player and a coach, and understands what it takes to build an elite defensive front. Jamey is a natural teacher who relates exceptionally well to people, and his experience winning national championships gives him a perspective that will resonate throughout our program. He's a rising star in this profession, and I'm excited for our defensive linemen to develop under his leadership. Jamey will help construct a D-line that plays with relentless effort, detailed technique, and the kind of nastiness that sets the tone for our entire unit."
The Mobile, Ala. native has been with Alabama since the 2021 season, first as a graduate assistant and then as a defensive analyst, primarily working with the Crimson Tide’s defensive line.
“My family and I are extremely blessed and honored to be joining this prestigious program”, said Mosley. “I would like to personally thank Coach Prichard and General Manager Andrew Luck for giving me the opportunity to join the Stanford family. The vision for this program has been clearly articulated: it will be one that embodies servant leadership, brotherhood, commitment, discipline, toughness, and pride, championing student-athletes as players and men. I am looking forward to leading this charge alongside this tremendous staff. God Bless and Go Card!”
In 2025, Alabama’s defensive line was key to the team’s College Football Playoff run, finishing 13th in total defensive yards/game (296.8 yards allowed/game) and tied-for-19th nationally in total tackles for loss (86.0). His defensive linemen excelled on and off the field, as Alabama defensive lineman LT Overton was named a 2025 William V. Campbell Trophy semifinalist, selected to the 2925 Southeastern Conference Community Service Team, and was added to both the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy and Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year Watchlists.
The 2024 Crimson Tide defensive line was guided by veterans Tim Keenan III, Tim Smith and Jah-Marien Latham, as both Smith and Latham set career-high totals for tackles and Keenan III had a career year, totaling 40 stops, 7.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, two quarterback hurries and a pass breakup. Smith was selected in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL draft by the Indianapolis Colts
In 2023, the Alabama defensive line finished the campaign ranked 14th nationally in sacks per game (2.79) and 18th in total defense (316.0 ypg). Justin Eboigbe led the defensive lineman squad with 64 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss and seven sacks and was selected in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL draft by the Los Angeles Chargers. Eboigbe had a successful 2025 season with the Chargers, playing in 17 games and totaling 39 tackles and six sacks.
The 2022 Alabama defensive line helped the Tide rank ninth in scoring defense (18.2 ppg), 13th in total defense (318.2 ypg) and 22nd in tackles for loss (6.9 ppg). Bryon Young was the unit’s leader, posting 48 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss and four sacks, and was drafted in the third round (70th overall) of the 2023 NFL Draft by the Las Vegas Raiders. Young was a key contributor to the 2025 Philadelphia Eagles line, posting 37 total tackles, 2.5 tackles and a fumble recovery.
Mosley joined Alabama’s staff as a graduate assistant in the 2021 season after he signed as an undrafted free agent with New York Jets in 2019. He spent a short time on the Jets’ roster alongside his older brother, five-time Pro Bowl selection linebacker C.J. Mosley, as well as on the Cardinals’ practice squad.
Mosley spent the 2014-18 seasons at the University of Alabama as a walk-on turned scholarship linebacker. In 30 games of college football action from 2016 to 2018, Mosley totaled 20 tackles (seven solo, 13 asst), 4.5 tackles-for-loss, two sacks, and two passes defensed. He earned a walk-on spot after four years playing both quarterback and linebacker for head coach Eric Collier at Theodore High School in Mobile, Ala.
Jamey Mosley and his wife, Savannah Mosley, have one son, Major Mosley.
