Since making the switch from safety to linebacker this offseason, senior RJ Moten has found a larger role for the Gators in 2024. The 6-0, 229-pound linebacker had one of his best games of the season against the Knights last weekend, recording a season high five total tackles, 0.5 TFL and his first sack of the season. Through five games this season, Moten has recorded 18 total tackles (9 solo), 2 TFL, 0.5 sacks and 1 PBU across 114 snaps.
“I have always wanted to play linebacker actually, but I think I knew going into the next level I was definitely going to move to linebacker, but it was just one day where Coach Armstrong was, like, ‘you’re getting too big’…I was like 230 at one point.
