Bio Information

Jared Mosley was named UNT Vice President and Director of Athletics on December 10, 2022, by President Neal Smatresk. He is tasked with the overall leadership of UNT Athletics and its more than 300 student-athletes.

During the 2023-24 year, UNT enjoyed a strong first season in the American Athletic Conference with six teams reaching postseason competition. Women's basketball won the Mean Green's first AAC championship as UNT teams finished with a combined record over .500 for a program-best seventh straight season.

In the classroom, UNT student-athletes posted a record GPA with a 3.284 overall in the Spring 2024 semester. The department also increased membership in the Mean Green Scholarship Fund to a record 1,750 donors as of May 2024.

In his first year in the role, the women's golf program won its third consecutive Conference USA championship, the track and field program had three NCAA qualifiers - its most in 30 years, and the men's basketball program won its first National Invitation Tournament Championship. Mosley also oversaw the hiring of five head coaches during the year (Eric Morris, Football; Ross Hodge, Men's Basketball; Jason Burton, Women's Basketball; Luke Calcatera, Men's Golf; and Amanda Stone, Women's Tennis).

In 2023, Mosley spearheaded a new 15-year naming rights agreement for DATCU Stadium and guided the department through a transition to The American. Additionally, Mean Green student-athletes recorded their best-ever cumulative GPA during the Fall 2023 semester.

A native of Lockney, Texas, Mosley is the 15th director of athletics in UNT history. He previously served as UNT Athletics’ Associate Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for more than six years from September 2016 to December 2022. In that role, he assisted Baker with financial, operational, and administrative issues. He also was tasked with developing strategic initiatives and providing oversight for human resources issues as well as facilities and event management, student services, marketing, promotions, and strategic communications.

He served as sport program administrator for both men’s and women’s basketball while assisting with football and handling scheduling for the football program. In his time at UNT, seven programs (men’s cross country, volleyball, women’s soccer, football, men’s basketball, women’s golf and softball) combined to win 17 conference or division championships, and the overall athletic department’s winning percentage in the last year was the best in the modern era.

Mosley came to North Texas from the Texas Sports Hall of Fame, where he held the title of Chief Executive Officer and President from 2014-16.

 Prior to that appointment, Mosley served as Director of Athletics for 10 years at Abilene Christian University from 2004-14, where he increased the athletics fundraising more than 650 percent up to more than $1.7 million in his final year. Mosley oversaw more than $30 million in facilities construction and renovations while leading the Wildcats through the first year of their Division I transition. He also secured the lead gift for an on-campus football stadium.

Mosley, who has more than 20 years’ experience in athletics administration and leadership, also worked as Associate Athletic Director at ACU from 2001-03.

He earned a pair of degrees from ACU with a Bachelor of Science degree in 2000 and a master’s in education administration in 2003. Mosley was inducted into the ACU Sports Hall of Fame in 2015 after a successful basketball career, where he finished as the 11th-leading scorer and the eighth-leading rebounder in school history.

Mosley and his wife Trish have three children, Jaden, Jaxon, and Blair.
