Alabama inside linebacker, Dylan Moses is ready to captain this defense back to the College Football Playoff National Championship stage and finish the job.
During his availability with the media on Monday, the junior praised Christian Harris (true freshman) and spoke on valuing the leadership role he has. When it comes to Harris, Moses called the four-star a “very aggressive” player and said that he reminds him of himself.

“He just plays football,” Moses said of Harris.
“That’s one thing I notice at practice in fall camp and that’s what grabbed the coaches attention as well. He’s out there playing. He’s not thinking about anything and even if he messes up, he’s still going. That reminded me of me when I was a freshman.”
After a knee injury to Joshua McMillon in a preseason scrimmage, Moses has stepped up to mentor the young players at inside linebacker.
It is a challenge for him – seeing how he is the lone one with huge game experience – however, the Louisiana native is willing to take it on.
The combination of Moses and Harris together should be fun.
