Summary
In this episode of Behind the Uniform - Season 3 - we feature senior defensive back Rod Moore. The fifth-year Wolverine reflects upon his harrowing surgery and rehab experience, setting the record straight once and for all on the reason for his second surgery, where he is in the rehab process, and the timeline for his return. Moore reflects his role in leading the team while sidelined last season. He detailed the journey the defensive players and coaches had from friction during the first half of the season to gelling the second half of the season, culminating in the victory over Ohio State. The conversation concludes with Moore highlighting the growth of young players like Brandyn Hillman and newcomers like TJ Metcalf. He then looks ahead to his own return and what he expects to be another exceptional year of Michigan defense.
