Shortly after Alabama took care of Kansas State in the Allstate Sugar Bowl, one of the Crimson Tide’s defensive backs announced his plans.
Malachi Moore, a rotation player in the Alabama defensive backfield, told reporters he plans to return to Alabama for his senior season.
If you remember, Moore was a standout defender during his true freshman season in 2020 when he collected 44 tackles and three interceptions.
Injuries plagued Moore during his sophomore campaign which allowed Brian Branch to emerge at the star position for the Alabama defense.
Moore returning for the 2023 season gives Alabama a massive boost in the backend that is set to lose Jordan Battle, DeMarcco Hellams and, most likely, Branch.
Alabama DB Malachi Moore confirmed he will return for his senior season in 2023. He has a chance to start at safety with Jordan Battle, DeMarcco Hellams leaving for the draft.
"Just seeing what the coaches want to do. … I just want to come back and be a leader on the defense."
