BUIES CREEK, N.C. ­– Duane Moss has signed an athletics grant-in-aid with Campbell University, men's basketball head coach Kevin McGeehan announced Friday.
 
A 6-foot-6 forward from Myrtle Beach, S.C., Moss joins the Fighting Camels after spending the last two years at UT-Chattanooga.
 
"Duane is going to be a very good player for us. We watched him play a ton as a high school player and his skill set is a natural fit for the way we play," said McGeehan, the 2019 Big South Coach of the Year, who guided the Camels to a league regular season title. "His college career has been slowed by injury, but we are looking forward to a healthy Duane as a Camel. He excels in the classroom and is truly a high character person. We are really looking forward to his future at Campbell University."
 
Injuries limited Moss to just nine games in two seasons at Chattanooga, where he averaged 3.8 points and shot 53 percent from 3-point range.  He contributed 4.9 points and shot 57 percent beyond the arc over the first seven games as a freshman in 2017-18 before suffering a season-ending injury.  Moss scored a career-high 11 points vs. Tennessee Wesleyan.
 
The son of former UNC Wilmington head coach and current Coastal Carolina associate head coach Benny Moss, he was a first-team all-state selection as a senior at Carolina Forest High School in Myrtle Beach, where he averaged 15 points and seven boards in 2016-17.
 
Moss is the fourth member of the 2018-19 Fighting Camel recruiting class, joining forward Joshua Lusane (Americus, Ga.), and guards Austin McCullough (Kalamazoo, Mich.) and Messiah Thompson (Atlanta, Ga.).
 
The quartet joins a program that is coming off a Big South Conference regular season championship and three-straight post-season appearances, including a trip to the 2019 NIT.  CU finished the 2018-19 campaign with a 20-13 mark and 12-4 record in the league.
