Mercer’s 6-foot-1 freshman DB Khalil Moody brings size, instincts, and a physical edge
In the 2024 season, Khalil Moody arrived at Mercer as a 6-foot-1, 160-pound freshman cornerback with real two-way production from Crestwood HS: 38 tackles, 8 pass breakups, 2 interceptions, and a sack, plus 878 all-purpose yards and 5 receiving touchdowns. That profile screams athlete, not just cover guy—long, active, and comfortable making plays on both sides of the ball. He also comes with a meaningful toughness storyline after a scary in-game medical incident in 2024, and Mercer described him as being in stable condition and in good spirits. If you want upside, versatility, and competitive juice, Moody is worth a hard look.
