Alabama junior inside linebacker Dylan Moses never has known a life away from the spotlight or a life free from challenges, and that’s just how he likes it.

The 6-foot-3, 235-pounder was a can’t-miss prospect not long after ditching the diapers, and he has delivered since signing and enrolling early with the Crimson Tide in 2017. Moses led Alabama in tackles last season with 86, and he also collected 10 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks and a forced fumble.

Moses was 6-2 and 220 pounds coming out of ninth grade in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, so imagine how dominant he must have been in peewee competition.

“I had like six touchdowns in our championship game when I was 9,” Moses said with a smile. “The field was really muddy. I remember that game like it was yesterday.”

It wasn’t too long after that when Moses seemingly made news every week on the recruiting front. He committed to LSU in September 2013, as he was starting the ninth grade.
