Malachi Moore, an Alabama team captain, apologized Monday for his outburst at the end of Saturday's 40-35 loss to Vanderbilt, and Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer said Moore would not be suspended for his actions.

Moore released a statement on X and said he was «completely out of line.» He added in his statement: «I let the emotions of the game get the best of me and put myself before the team.

As a two-time captain and fifth-year player, I understand the standard we are expected to live up to at Alabama, and I failed to do so by acting in a selfish and unacceptable manner.… I will do better to uphold the Alabama standard moving forward.» Moore, a multiyear starter at safety, shoved Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia's head toward the ground at the end of a play.

Moore also threw his mouthpiece and was hit with a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for kicking the football. The Alabama staff tried to substitute for Moore at the end of the game, but he appeared to refuse to come off the field.
