Michigan football junior, and hard-hitting safety, Rod Moore has some big expectations entering the 2023 season. R.J. Moten transferred to Florida, which leaves Moore and Makari Paige to lock down the safety positions, but Moore would have assuredly been considered a lock to receive majority of the playing time.
Moore was an All-Big Ten selection in 2022, led the defensive backs with 71 tackles, and had a team-high four intercetpions last season. The Ohio native has already been picked to become an All-American once the 2023 season concludes, according to Athlon Sports.

On Sunday, Michigan football players held the second annual BG Champs Camp in Chicago, Illinois. Rod Moore was one of the Wolverines to help out and be there, and he told The Wolverine that he would be changing his number to No. 9.
Ive always rocked with J.J., and now I dont know if you know but now Im No. 9, so were going to be wearing the same number, so its gonna be turnt, Moore said. Ah, I just wanted to wear a single digit for potentially my last year. I mean, 19 was cool, but as a safety
Former Michigan safety Damani Dent wore No. 9, but he entered the transfer portal this spring and has yet to make a deceision on where he will be playing in 2023.
