Michigan’s Rod Moore Granted 6th Season by NCAA, Bringing 2-Time All-Big Ten Safety Back to Team
Rod Moore will return for a sixth season at Michigan after receiving an NCAA medical hardship waiver following recovery from multiple knee injuries.
- Thursday, the NCAA granted Rod Moore, Wolverines safety, a sixth year of eligibility, and Michigan Wolverines football program announced his return to Ann Arbor.
- Following a torn ACL during spring practice and a slow-healing meniscus tear, Moore sought a medical hardship waiver, limiting his return to three games since 2023, and ending after Oct. 11.
- Moore's on-field resume shows he had 38 tackles, two interceptions and five pass breakups in 2023, and across five seasons he appeared in 40 games with 29 starts and was captain in 2024 and 2025.
- Moore will be 23 years old this fall and is expected to help anchor a revamped Michigan secondary under new head coach Kyle Whittingham, following multiple transfers and the return of cornerbacks Jyaire Hill and Zeke Berry plus incoming Smith Snowden.
- If healthy, Rod Moore could be among the Big Ten's best defensive backs in 2026, and his brief comeback this past fall aimed to show NFL scouts his recovery while his two-time captaincy and key Ohio State plays highlight his leadership.
