Rod Moore Returns to Michigan for Sixth and Final Season

The two-time captain returns following an ACL tear with a medical-hardship year in play.

Overview

  • Moore announced his decision late Thursday on social media as part of Michigan’s “LFG147” campaign.
  • Coverage reports he missed 2024 with a torn ACL and was limited in 2025 by a slow-healing meniscus following missed diagnoses.
  • Outlets disagree on whether he appeared in three or four games last season, but all describe his availability as limited.
  • His return bolsters a reshaped secondary that includes corners Zeke Berry, Jyaire Hill, Shamari Earls, and Smith Snowden, plus safeties Mason Curtis, Jordan Young, transfer Chris Bracy, and Kainoa Winston.
  • A former all-Big Ten pick and two-time captain, Moore is remembered for a game-sealing interception against Ohio State in 2023.
