Former NFL receiver Moses Ware enters his first season at Morgan State and will serve as the Bears wide receivers coach and pass game coordinator.
Ware, one of the top receivers in North Carolina Central University history, returned to his alma mater as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in January 2019.
Ware spent the prior eight seasons (2011-18) at Bowie State University, including the last five campaigns as offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach and three years as tight ends coach. In the past four seasons, the Bulldogs advanced to the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) championship game (2018, 2016, 2015) and the NCAA Division II playoffs (2018, 2017, 2015) three times, winning the CIAA championship and a first-round NCAA playoff game in 2018. Under Ware's leadership, Bowie State topped the CIAA in passing offense and first downs for four consecutive seasons from 2015-18. In 2017, the Bulldogs ranked No. 1 in the NCAA Division II in scoring (54.5 points per game) and total offense (566.3 total yards per game).
Prior to Bowie State, Ware was head coach at his alma mater, F.W. Ballou High School. During his five-year tenure (2006-10), the Knights posted a 37-17 record and captured the first D.C. Interscholastic Athletic Association championship in school history in 2006. He was selected as the 2010 Washington, D.C. Pigskin Coach of the Year.
Ware started his coaching career as a wide receivers coach at NCCU, and worked three seasons (2003-05) as offensive coordinator at Calvin Coolidge Senior High School.
As a player, Ware ended his NCCU career (1991-94) as the fourth-leading receiver in school history with 132 catches for 1,822 yards and 15 touchdowns. He signed as an undrafted free agent with the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers and spent two seasons with the Minnesota Vikings.
Ware earned his bachelor's degree in criminal justice from NCCU.
