2022 Recruiting: 4* RB Le’veon Moss commits to Bama (now de-committed)
- Thread starter CoolBreeze
- Start date
6’0”, 190 lbs. Nice speed. Just finished his junior year of HS, so will probably get at least a little bigger.
It’s a long way to December 15 early signing day, and LSU fans can make life hard on somebody they view as a turncoat. We need to keep recruiting him like he’s uncommitted.

Granted it`s high school, but he outran people that had the angle on him. Looks to have good vision at the line of scrimmage too. Hope he sticks.
Good article on this dude. https://alabama.rivals.com/news/alabama-is-getting-a-true-game-changer-in-recent-commit-le-veon-moss
It doesn’t happen often, but when
Le’Veon Moss
fumbles, his high school head coach gets excited. It means he's about to run angry.
Jeremy Gradney, who coaches Moss at Istrouma High School in Baton Rouge, La., has seen his star playmaker dismantle every defense put before him. However, when the four-star back gets a bit frustrated, he has a tendency to kick things into an extra gear.
“He’s one of those guys who just doesn’t like making mistakes,” Gradney told BamaInsider. “He doesn't like to fumble, and when he fumbles he’s really upset. From a coaching standpoint, I like when he fumbles. I know when he fumbles, when he gets the ball again, you better get out of the way. It’s tough enough to tackle him as it is, but when he runs with that chip on his shoulder, you better watch out.”
In a year’s time, Moss will be bringing that aggressive running style to Tuscaloosa, Ala. The four-star recruit committed to Alabama Sunday night, becoming the seventh commit in the Crimson Tide’s 2022 class.
Moss is currently ranked as the No. 182 overall player and No. 17 running back in his class. He chose Alabama over offers from hometown LSU among a host of other top schools.

Moss saw a slow start to his recruitment as Istrouma High School didn’t field a varsity team during his freshman season in 2018. After tearing through junior varsity competition, the star back didn’t miss a beat during his first varsity season in 2019, rushing for 1,254 yards and 16 touchdowns while averaging 13.3 yards per carry. He also starred on special teams that season, returning three kickoffs for touchdowns.
Moss was unable to match those numbers during a shortened junior season last year. However, he displayed his dominance during a playoff victory over Pearl River in which he ran for 265 yards and five touchdowns on 18 carries.
Last spring, Gradney clocked Moss with a sub-4.4 time in the 40-yard dash. The head coach said he likens the 6-foot, 205-pound back’s game to three-time Pro Bowler Le’Veon Bell due to his ability to attack defenses in a variety of ways.
“He’s a very special talent,” Gradney said. “I’ve been coaching for quite a while, man. I haven’t seen many backs as special as him who can do the things that he does on the field in regards to just being a game-breaker. He’s truly blessed with a unique set of skills mixed with his size and instinct. He’s a true game-changer.”
Moss is the second running back in Alabama’s 2022 class, joining Rivals100 member Emmanuel Henderson. The Tide also added the top running back in this year’s class in five-star talent Camar Wheaton.
While the competition in Alabama’s backfield figures to be fierce over the next few years, don’t count out Moss' ability to see the field early once he arrives in Tuscaloosa. Then again, maybe Tide fans should doubt him. After all, he’s at his best with a bit of a chip on his shoulder.
“He’s an ultimate competitor,” Gradney said. “Down here in Louisiana we have some very competitive teams who play some really good football. He’s already competed against the best and had success against some of the best teams in Louisiana. He takes those guys head-on. I think that’s going to be the same at Alabama. He’s not afraid to compete against anybody.”

It's great watching Coach Golding, as he develops into an elite recruiter under Coach Saban, since taking over as our DC he's had his bumps along the way, as he found his footing calling plays as our DC..
Once he's found his footing calling plays, he relaxed more calling plays getting plays in faster from the sideline & he's becoming an elite play caller in the process..
That's allowed him to find his stride as a recruiter as well, it's been fun watching his development, cause he's starting to reel in some stud recruits on both sides of the ball..

Also helps not having two true freshmen at ILB.
And as much as I admire Dylan Moses’ heart, he never truly found his footing in pass coverage. Don’t know how much of that was the lingering effects of the knee injury, but he struggled on that front.
It was painful to watch, but I think the Ole Miss game last year was the turning point for both Golding and the players.
Agreed we need to keep recruiting him but Saban and staff have purged Baton Rouge regularly recently and the entire state for years. Dylan Moses, Chris Allen and Christian Harris are all from BR and there are a lot of other high profile players we have signed in the past from LA and I'm sure the corndogs tried to make their lives hard but they still made it to T-town. This is a great pick-up.
Spot on TJ. you would think by now the lsu faithful would get used to it. they are the worst fan base in the entire country when " one of their own" leaves their beloved state to play for another school. BUT see no problem whatsoever when they picked up a great prospect from another state....
that's why its so very sweet when Bama plucks an elite LA native from BR and one they really want!
His burst and running style kind of remind me of Eddie Lacy, though I think Eddie might have been a little bigger. Nice pickup and hopefully we hold onto him.
some Bama fans have compared him to Auburn's Kenny Irons and our very own TJ Yeldon.
Good comparison SJC. I saw Yeldon in him and also saw Bobby Humphrey for some of our older posters.
Dude can cut in a dime & his O-Line has some big uglies that's going too play lots on the D1 level.
