Trey Moon, seen in a file photo from 2013, is heading from Oliver Woodard Stadium to Bryant-Denny after cracking Alabama’s roster.

Oliver Woodard Stadium is no longer big enough for Cullman’s latest All-State first-teamer.

Bryant-Denny will do.

Following a stringent summer tryout in Tuscaloosa, the Southeastern Conference site will be the new home of Trey Moon, who was recently rewarded with a coveted spot on the University of Alabama’s final football roster for the upcoming fall.

The weight of such an accomplishment certainly wasn’t lost on the former Bearcat safety, a lifelong fan of all that’s “Roll Tide” and houndstooth.

“It’s huge because Alabama’s just always been like a dream,” Moon said. “When you’re a little kid, that’s what you want to do — play football for Alabama.”

As a walk-on, the odds were stacked against Moon from the get-go. In order to make the cut, he had to endure a rigorous summer schedule that included running, workouts and 7-on-7s. The 195-pounder pulled his weight — and then some — during one particular lifting session, showing off his superhuman strength with a remarkable 365-pound rep on the bench press.

The Tide transitioned to fall camp without walk-ons, leaving Moon a good two weeks to sweat out his fate as a college football player. It proved to be a nerve-racking time but nowhere as tough as the tryout itself, which Moon called “harder than anything I’ve ever done before.”

The worst part? Running, an activity the big-hitting brainiac said he hates more than anything.

There were multiple instances when Moon’s background as a Bearcat came in handy. He said hailing from a successful high school program run by the likes of Mark Britton and a motivational coaching staff mellowed his mindset when things got especially rough.

“Going through what we did at Cullman and learning not to quit helped a lot,” Moon said. “Quitting would’ve been a whole lot easier than what I was doing.”

Be that as it may, the defensive back would do it all over again, even if the outcome ultimately hadn’t gone his way.

“The experience was incredible,” Moon said. “It was awesome.”

As calculated and analytical of a defender as Moon was at Cullman, it might come as a surprise his first encounter with his new head coach was left up to chance.

On the day of Alabama’s 2013 A-Day game, the then-senior was wandering around the Tide’s football complex — which, ironically, was pretty complex for someone who’d never been — trying to find the place for his physical. He got lost, turned the corner and boom, ran right into Nick Saban.

Moon introduced himself to the coaching legend, asked where he needed to go and Saban pointed the way.

When asked if the two have spoken since, Moon’s answer was an understandable no.

“He’s mostly busy,” he said.

At a university like Alabama, it could realistically be a year or two before Moon is even considered for an on-field role. In the meantime, he said he’ll “basically do everything but dress out for the game.”

That includes learning the system and getting “bigger, faster, stronger” so he can eventually “be out there with everybody else.”

“Now I’ve just got to show them what I can do and hope for the best,” Moon said.

Moon was sensational in his senior year at Cullman, rounding up 153 total tackles, three interceptions, three forced fumbles and two recoveries last fall. All three picks were against big-time rivals — one to jumpstart a fourth-quarter comeback against Walker and the other pair inside his own 10-yard line in the first half of a 14-6 thriller over Hartselle.

For his efforts, Moon was named an All-State first-teamer, Cullman’s first since Andrew Winfrey in 2011.
