The state of Louisiana and playing football for Nick Saban taught Dylan Moses how to endure trials.
He faced some unpleasant challenges in 2019 and 2020 that could have derailed his career. Moses suffered two serious knee injuries and lost his grandmother to COVID-19, but he kept fighting. He did not have the explosiveness from his freshman and sophomore seasons; however, he still made an impact. The 6-foot-3, 240-pounder led Alabama football for total tackles (80) and recorded 6.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, three pass breakups, one forced fumble, and one interception. His leadership at middle linebacker helped the Crimson Tide go undefeated in an SEC-only schedule.
