He played college football for the Nevada Wolf Pack from 1996 to 1999. Insley is the only player in NCAA Division I-A history to gain 2,000 receiving yards in a single season. He is one of two players in all division NCAA history to hold this distinction.

Insley possesses the second most career receiving yards in Division I-A history with 5,005 yards. His other records include most 200 yard receiving games (6), second most 100 yard receiving games (26), and third most career receptions (298).
Insley was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2000 by the Indianapolis Colts. His three-year NFL career with the Colts and the Houston Texans ended in 2002. He was allocated by the Colts to NFL Europe where he starred for the Barcelona Dragons in 2001.
From November 6, 1999, until November 25, 2016, Insley held the record for most all-time career receiving yards in Division I-A competition (now Football Bowl Subdivision). Western Michigan wide receiver Corey Davis broke his record in a game against Toledo.
