How will safety Rod Moore bounce back?
The redshirt senior had his 2024 season taken away from him due to injury, but he is back patrolling the secondary in 2025. He is also switching his number to 19 — which he wore during his underclassmen years — after spending 2023-24 donning No. 9.
Even after summiting this uphill battle, Moore is an excellent free safety with the closing speed, tackling and IQ to frustrate Big Ten offenses. He will need to be one of the best players on the team for Michigan to compete nationally.
