It seems anticipated that safety Rod Moore, a vital member of the Michigan Wolverines defense, will miss practice due to an ACL/MCL injury.Moore’s non-contact injury will probably keep him out of the field for the whole 2024 season. He is one of the few Michigan athletes who chose to stay after winning a national championship in 2023. He is about to enter his senior season with the Wolverines.
Rod Moore played in 11 games as a freshman in 2021 and has been a reliable member of the Wolverines ever since. Moore was named both the team’s Special Teams Rookie of the Year and Defensive Rookie of the Year. 32 tackles and a pass breakup were his final stats for his rookie season.
In his sophomore year, Moore received his first All-Big Ten selection (honorable mention), and he also became a full-time starter. With 71 tackles, he topped the Wolverines’ defensive line. With four interceptions during the season, he also led the team.
Moore was selected to the third team of the Big Ten in 2023, continuing his excellent play. During the season, he recorded 38 tackles and two interceptions. Moore started eleven games, however his numbers were diminished since he was not needed in the second half of numerous landslide victories. He finished the College Football Playoffs with nine tackles and one pass breakup.
When Moore picked off Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Kyle McCord to seal “The Game” for Michigan, it was one of the most memorable moments of the season and cemented Moore’s legacy as a Wolverines legend.
In anticipation of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Michigan Wolverines sent a record 18 players to the NFL Scouting Combine. Rod Moore, who NFL Draft Buzz projects to be drafted in the mid-first round, made the decision to return in 2024 as a vital member of the secondary.
In a Pro Football Talk piece, Michigan edge rusher Braiden McGregor revealed the exact number of Michigan players who were going to the NFL.
The atmosphere here reminds me of Schembechler Hall, Michigan edge rusher Braiden McGregor remarked. “Everyone is visible to me wherever I look.” It’s fantastic. It’s quite amazing because everyone is saying, “Wow, you guys roll deep.”
Moore is among the select few players with a great deal of starting experience who chose to come back and support the Wolverines in what will probably be a transitional season. The man who first brought Moore in, former head coach Jim Harbaugh, left for the NFL and took a long list of coaches with him.
