He may not be the biggest defensive back from this year’s signing class or the one known for most highlight plays, but Malachi Moore could be the most technically sound player at the position. A four-star from Hewitt-Trussville (Ala.) High School, he turned in a great senior season with 83 tackles, eight breakups and four interceptions – including two for touchdowns.
The 6-foot, 180-pounder decided to remain in-state and signed to the University of Alabama.
In studying Moore on film, yours truly of Touchdown Alabama Magazine quickly noticed his footwork, smooth rotation in his hips, ball skills and his ability to fight down the edge to make tackles in run support.
