Alabama DB Malachi Moore announced decision to return to school for 2024 season

A veteran defensive back for the University of Alabama football program made his football future decision official.

Malachi Moore, a former four-star in the 2020 recruiting class, shared a video to Instagram on Tuesday — stating he is returning to the Crimson Tide for the 2024 season. A native Trussville, Ala., Moore had a strong senior campaign for the Crimson Tide in 2023. He totaled 52 tackles, five tackles for loss, five pass breakups, a quarterback hurry, and an interception. Nick Saban called Moore the ‘best communicator’ in the defensive secondary, so it’s huge for the Tide to have him back on defense for a fifth year.
