Dylan Moses came to Alabama as the defensive crown jewel of the offensively loaded 2017 recruiting class, with more hype than most as a player who started getting SEC offers in the 8th grade. The 2016 high school Butkus Award winner grew up in Baton Rouge but made the difficult decision to choose Alabama over hometown LSU, with whom he had a longstanding relationship.
Dylan’s talent was evident from the jump. He has rare size and speed for a man his size, and when the Tide suffered a litany of linebacker injuries in his freshman season, he played pretty well before succumbing to injury himself, earning his first start against Mercer.
