The University of Alabama signed another talented football player for its 2024 class, and this one has a familiar last name.
Malachi Moore, a native of Trussville, Ala., had Crimson Tide fans in love with him as a freshman.

He has grown to becoming a team captain and a tremendous fan favorite as a defensive back. Moore, a former four-star in the 2020 recruiting class, now has the incredible opportunity of sharing the practice field and sideline with his younger brother.
Ayden Moore, a defensive end/linebacker prospect, is geared up to play for the Tide.

He, like Malachi, was a defensive playmaker at Hewitt-Trussville High School. Ayden accounted for 85 total tackles, including nine for loss and eight sacks last season. He comes in as a preferred walk-on under Kalen DeBoer and Kane Wommack.
It is a special moment for Mrs. Penny Moore as both of her sons are now rocking crimson.

Malachi assisted Alabama to a College Football Playoff National Championship in 2020, but can the brothers get a national title together? Next fall will be exciting.
