Mosley is the star of the game for Santa Margarita, leading the way as it routs Centennial in the CIF-SS Division 1 final.
TJ Houshmandzadeh played 11 seasons as a receiver in the NFL.
He knows what it takes to be an elite football player. And Houshmandzadeh, now Santa Margarita’s receivers coach, said Eagles senior Trent Mosley has what it takes.
“Everyone knows he’s going to get the ball the majority of the time,” Houshmandzadeh said. “And you still can’t stop him.”
Mosley was unstoppable Friday night.
He had 10 receptions for 292 yards. Mosley caught two touchdown passes and ran for two touchdowns in the Eagles’ 42-7 win over Corona Centennial in the CIF Southern Section Division 1 championship game at the Rose Bowl.Santa Margarita Eagles Trent Mosley (4) holds up the championship plaque after defeating the Centennial Huskies 42-7 to win the CIF-SS Division 1 championship game at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on Friday, November 28, 2025.

Houshmandzadeh compared Mosley to Amon-Ra St. Brown, the former Mater Dei receiver who went on to star at USC (where Mosley is committed) and has been outstanding for the Detroit Lions.
“Trent’s Amon-Ra St. Brown without the scowl on his face,” Houshmandzadeh said. “Amon-Ra looks like he’s going to kill you. Trent’s going to smile and kill you.”
Mosley scored the game’s first touchdown by taking a direct-snap for a 2-yard run. He scored the second touchdown on a Trace Johnson pass he caught at the Eagles’ 43 and he turned it into an 80-yard scoring play.
He had 201 receiving yards on nine catches in the first half.Santa Margarita Eagles Trent Mosley (4) catches a pass and runs for a 90 plus yard touchdown against Centennial Huskies in the second half of a CIF-SS Division 1 championship game at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on Friday, November 28, 2025.
