Here's why ex-St. Raphael star Moses Meus is back with URI football
Rhode Island football is looking for a third -straight Coastal Athletic Association title.
NARRAGANSETT – Moses Meus is among the University of Rhode Island football standouts who could have been playing elsewhere this season. To not acknowledge that fact in modern college sports is to avoid reality. There certainly would have been programs elsewhere willing to offer Meus a grander stage, a more realistic path to the NFL and a bit extra in his bank account.
The other side of the discussion involves the decision made by the former St. Raphael standout and Pawtucket native. Meus opted to stay with the Rams, the program that recruited him hardest while he was an All-Stater with the Saints.
It was a different sort of victory for URI coach Jim Fleming and his staff when Meus announced he would be back for his junior campaign in 2026. (He redshirted in 2023. ) “When I was getting recruited out of high school they were always in my phone,” Meus said after the annual Blue-White Game at Narragansett High School.
“They were always on me. They always spoke very highly of me. When I came here I felt like it was the right decision.
