Hewitt-Trussville defensive back and Alabama signee Malachi Moore played cornerback through most of his high school career before moving to safety as a senior.

So, where does he expect to play at Alabama – corner, safety or perhaps the hybrid star position that’s essentially the Crimson Tide’s slot corner?

“Right now, they told me I’ll probably be at the safety position,” he said, “but really, I’ll play whatever position they need me to play – receiver, anything.”

Moore plans to enroll at Alabama in January, in hopes of using spring practice to earn immediate playing time as a true freshman. He finished with 80 tackles and four interceptions as a senior, including two interceptions returned for touchdowns for the Huskies.

Moore headlined four signees at Hewitt-Trussville today, as defensive lineman Eric Taylor signed with LSU, receiver Dazalin Worsham signed with Miami, and offensive lineman Logan Self signed with Troy. Hewitt-Trussville coach Josh Floyd said the four scholarships – with tuition, room, board, food and books – total approximately $775,000 over a four-year period.

Each of the four spoke to several hundred parents, fans and teammates in the school’s auditorium, and Moore’s one-minute speech featured public thanks to family, coaches and trainers.

“Last but not least,” he said in conclusion, “I’d like to thank Coach (Nick) Saban and the University of Alabama for blessing me with the opportunity to be a better person and a better student-athlete. Roll Tide!”

After today’s ceremony, Moore took questions from reporters, and here’s excerpts from the group interview:

Q: What’s today been like for you and your family?

Moore: “Just blessed to be able to play at the next level, at the highest level.”

Q: What are your expectations for playing at Alabama?

Moore: “Just come in and work hard and give it my all and soak up everything I can from the other guys.”

Q: Do you have goals for your first season?

Moore: “Just learn as much as I can and definitely play. Just learn as much as I can in a short period of time and come in and make an impact.”

Q: You have to love competition to ever sign with Alabama, right?

Moore: “That’s what sold me on Alabama. They didn’t promise anything or anything like that. I knew I would have to go in there and whatever I got, I earned it, so that’s what drew me to Alabama.”
