Manase Mose stepped into North Texas' starting lineup as a redshirt freshman back in 2018 and hasn't left since. The awards have quickly stacked up for the former Euless Trinity standout along the way. The latest came Thursday when Mose was named to the watchlist for the Polynesian College Football Player of the Year Award. The honor is presented annually to a player of Polynesian ancestry who displays ability and integrity. Mose has started all 35 games he has played for the Mean Green since his redshirt freshman season. He started out at guard before moving to center last season.Mose is working at both guard and center as UNT prepares for its season opener against Northwestern State on Sept. 4. "It will help me in the long run," Mose said of playing multiple spots. "I feel comfortable doing it and helping the team get better. I feel good about our offensive line. We have a lot of experience coming back." Mose will be among the leaders of the group as he looks to build on his list of accomplishments that have piled up over the last few years. He was named to the All-Conference USA Freshman Team in 2018, when he was also an honorable mention all-league pick. Mose was named honorable mention all-league again last season in his first year at center. - Denton Record
