When Alabama football takes the field for its annual A-Day game, Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium, things will be different. The obvious change will be Kalen DeBoer on the sideline, replacing the retired Nick Saban, but that’s just the start of the list.

Somewhere between the new coach and whatever the least important difference from 2023 is, comes Malachi Moore’s position. After spending most of his career playing the star position, the senior will be a true safety under new defensive coordinator Kane Wommack.

On Tuesday, Moore discussed how the change has gone.

“It was a little weird,” Moore said. “I’m not going to lie.”

The new position puts Moore further off of the ball. Wommack’s defense does incorporate a position similar to the star, called the “husky,” but the new management opted to have Moore play elsewhere.

The new spot will theoretically allow him to make more plays on the ball. After the Tide’s 13th spring practice, he said things were falling into place.

“It was a little weird at first, just from being that close to the line of scrimmage to now being so far back from the line of scrimmage,” Moore said. “But as spring practice kept going on, I got more comfortable with it. I’m very comfortable with it now.”

Alabama has one more practice this spring before the A-Day game. It’s scheduled for 3 p.m. CT at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday.
