College career

2005

Mougey was recruited by then-head coach Tom Craft as a quarterback out of Arizona, and was rated as a three stars prospect by Rivals.com. During the 2005 season, Mougey replaced starting quarterback Kevin O'Connell.

2007

The Aztecs wanted to utilize Mougey's superior size and athleticism, so they tried him out at wide receiver. At 6-foot-6 and boasting an impressive knack for catching footballs, he became a starter in his first game as a receiver. He played nine games in 2007, finishing third on the team with 32 catches for 368 yards and scoring two touchdowns. He missed three games due to injury.

2008

In his senior year in 2008, Mougey was matched with redshirt freshman quarterback Ryan Lindley, and Mougey was expected to be the main target of the young passer. Mougey missed two games, but still managed to improve his production to 34 receptions for 437 yards while scoring five times. He led the team in yards-per-catch average at 12.9 out of players with at least ten catches, and he had a 43-yard reception.
