Malachi Moore will be one of the two true freshmen, who will take the field as part of Alabama’s starting defense in its first game of the season Saturday.
Moore’s journey to get to this point may seem like it was a quick rise but in actuality, it has been a four-year journey of hard work and steady progress. As a freshman at Hewitt-Trussville High School, Moore lined up at wide receiver for the most part, while playing basketball doing the off-season. This was around the time he started to train with former Alabama defensive back, Justin Woodall.
