There is no such thing as playing safe when it comes to making your team win! And that’s what Michigan Wolverines‘ most loved DB believes. Rod Moore, who became immensely popular last season, also caught attention because his leg got hurt during practice. But as the famous saying goes, “It’s not whether you get knocked down it’s whether you get up”, Moore handled the situation so bravely that his fans are now very very protective of him.
Rod Moore hails from Ohio State and has been a DB for the Michigan Wolverines since last season. Coming out of such an injury, anyone would feel hopeless but Moore is built differently. He stood his ground strong and wished to hit the field asap. In moments like this, it often happens that a player starts losing hope, and support from loved ones becomes prominent. His parents must have instilled so much courage in him to tackle this situation and on that note, let’s break the ice with his family.

It was a fine spring practice day when Moore got hurt, resulting in a torn ACL in his left knee. However, the champion has not loosened his spark even a bit. The coaches at Michigan stated that he was sitting beside them just the day after his injury. If not on the gridiron, Moore started guiding the new players. The coach even jokingly calls him “Coach Moore” to cheer him up. In April, his knee surgery took place. After that, he shared a photo where he sat in a wheelchair and proudly displayed a victory sign. Bravo champion! It was all about his life beyond the field. Now let’s get the insights of what he does on the football field.
College journey and prospects
The tough guy started his football career at Northmont High School. He scored 85 tackles, 4 interceptions, and 3 forced fumbles when he was a junior. In his senior year, he had 68 tackles with 1 interception and 28 receptions for 440 yards and 8 touchdowns. Impressive! After finishing school, he was a first-team all-Ohio and all-Southwest at No. 1. Right after joining Michigan, he secured 38 tackles with 2 interceptions, which was a game-ending interception against Ohio State. Sooner, he was among the third-team all-big ten.
The injury may have impacted his health, but not his future prospects! Because of his strong coverage skills and playmaking ability, he stands among the top NFL prospects. However, it’s clear that he has to rest for his injury to heal; he could take it as an opportunity to sharpen his skills. As a Wolverine fan, it feels disappointing not to be able to watch our favorite player on the field. Let’s just wait for the next season; anything can happen!
