Miller Moss<\/a> may have made the cross-country transfer from USC<\/a> to Louisville<\/a> this past offseason, but his hometown Los Angeles community is never far from his heart. It\u2019s because of that connection that the first-year Cardinals quarterback is returning home to LA this weekend to host a charity football camp.<\/p>\n

Moss, the former USC QB hoping to rejuvinate his collegiate career in Louisville, is putting on the camp for local Los Angeles-area youth with all proceeds going to support families impacted by the devastating wildfires that decimated Southern California this past January<\/a>. Moss grew up in Santa Monica<\/a> and graduated from Bishop Alemany High School<\/a> in Mission Hills, a suburb of LA that\u2019s roughly 30 minutes north of the Pacific Palisades area most severely impacted by the wildfires, as a four-star recruit in the 2021 recruiting class.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, being from LA, there was a large piece of LA that was greatly affected by the wildfires and a lot of people lost their homes. A lot of people misplaced, looking for homes, kind of in between, trying to figure out what to do. Obviously having close proximity to that \u2013 my mom and grandma lost their homes as well \u2013 so we\u2019re doing a camp on Saturday when I go home,\u201d Moss said during a Wednesday appearance on the ACC Network during the second day of 2025 ACC Kickoff Media Days in Charlotte. \u201cJust kind of a kid\u2019s camp. And all the proceeds are going toward the fire relief effort. It\u2019s an issue close to my heart, close to my home, and anything we can do, any way I can exercise my platform to do good and help the community, I think that\u2019s what it\u2019s about at the end of the day. Obviously throwing touchdowns and winning games is awesome, but I think if you can have a positive affect on your community and the people that you love and care about, that\u2019s the most important thing at the end of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2025 Southern California wildfires began Jan. 7 and wasn\u2019t fully contained until Jan. 31, severely burning and impacting large swaths of land and property throughout the Pacific Palisades, Topanga and Malibu communities. The wildfires burned more than 23,000 acres, destroying nearly 6,900 structures and resulting in the deaths of 12 people, making it the third-most destructive California wildfire on record according to multiple media reports.<\/p>\n

Louisville QB Miller Moss explains why he transferred from USC<\/p>\n

Miller Moss<\/a>\u00a0came to\u00a0Louisville<\/a>\u00a0this offseason and it seems like forever ago that he transferred from\u00a0USC<\/a>. It only seems like yesterday when he had a breakout performance in the Holiday Bowl as\u00a0Caleb Williams<\/a>\u00a0prepared for the NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

But ahead of 2025, USC and Moss have moved on and the latter is ready to help the Cardinals compete for the ACC title. Moss had his suitors, but zeroed in on Louisville and head coach Jeff Brohm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The relationship is evident, even if it\u2019s just Moss talking about it. They have to prove this is the best relationship on the field this season, but it seems like Moss is in the right place to conclude his college career.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I mean, I think there were very specific things I was looking for, you know, in a school and an opportunity,\u201d Moss said at ACC Media Days. \u201cAnd I think, you know, Coach Brohm, and the University of Louisville, which obviously includes the program, offered a ton of that. I think the opportunity to win and compete at a high level is certainly a part of that. And I think we have and I think we absolutely have that opportunity this year. I think the ability to develop within a pro style offense \u2026 was important to me.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I think just being around good and decent human beings \u2026 that can kind of get lost on us a lot in terms of, you know, the era of NIL and transferring and all that kind of stuff. But in sitting with Coach Brohm \u2026 I really wanted to be surrounded by good and decent human beings that cared about the right things and that cared about one another. And I think I\u2019ve absolutely found that within the program.\u201d<\/p>\n
