In his freshman season he was named to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team[1] and was the goalkeeper for the runner-up team in the NCAA College Cup. Muse led the NCAA in goals against average (0.26), shutouts (18) and save percentage (90.3 percent).[2] In his sophomore season as part of the Big Ten Championship team and he was named Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year[3] and was a MAC Hermann semifinalist.[4]

On December 29, 2022, Muse joined USL Championship side Charleston Battery for their 2023 season, reuniting head coach Ben Pirmann.[10] Muse's first season in Charleston proved to be a stellar one. The shot-stopper notched a new career-high with 12 clean sheets in the regular season, a mark that also ranked tied for most in the league.[11] Muse was a 2x Player of the Week selection, both coming in the month of May, and a 3x Team of the Week selection. He had the ninth-most saves (75) and started 33 of the 34 regular season matches. He ended the year with 13 clean sheets, adding to his career-high with one shutout in the playoffs, and helped the Battery reach the USL Championship Final.
