He is an in-state talent, but Malachi Moore wants to assure everyone that he bleeds nothing but crimson.
Moore could not have scripted a better freshman season for himself. The former four-star totaled 44 tackles (four for loss), six pass breakups, two quarterback pressures, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and three interceptions (team-high) in 2020.
He took his fumble recovery versus Tennesee for a 28-yard touchdown and guided Alabama’s defense to leading the Southeastern Conference in points allowed (19.4). Despite missing the last three games of the season with an injury, Moore earned Freshman All-SEC and second-team All-SEC honors.
