Alabama football has a rockstar on defense and it is a true freshman.
Malachi Moore, a native of Trussville, Ala., was all business in preseason camp and the four-star has been very impressive through four games. Whether it’s his tackling, confidence, instincts or ball skills, there have been moments where the alumnus of Hewitt-Trussville High School looks like the best defensive back on the field. For a defense that is trying to turn a corner and play better, he has been in the right place at the right time to record huge moments. Moore collected his first career interception in Alabama’s 52-24 win over Texas A&M, but he almost took the roof off Bryant-Denny Stadium with a timely play against Georgia.
