High school and college career

Moser landed at UNLV, where he enjoyed a strong sophomore season in 2011–12, averaging 14 points and 10.5 rebounds per game. Moser was named all-Mountain West Conference and an honorable mention All-American by the Associated Press. As a junior, Moser suffered a disappointing season as he battled a dislocated elbow suffered early in the season.
