Former UAB standout linebacker Kristopher Moll commits to UW Huskies
The Washington Huskies continue to add ahead of the 2022 football season.
Monday evening, the program received a commitment from former Fife High School standout Sekai Afoa-Asoau, who announced his transfer to UW after playing last season at College of San Mateo in California.
Tuesday morning, the Huskies added another from graduate transfer linebacker Kristopher Moll, who played the past five seasons at UAB.
Moll played in 51 games during his career with the Blazers, piling up 234 tackles, including 27.5 for losses and 13 sacks. He also hauled in two interceptions, tallied eight pass break-ups, 17 quarterback hits and six forced fumbles with UAB. He has one season of eligibility remaining.
He appeared in four games last season, collecting 14 tackles, before missing the rest of the season due to injury.
Moll was an All-Conference USA first-team selection in both 2019 and 2020, starting each of the 21 games he played across the two seasons.
As a junior in 2019, he ranked among the top 10 players in the conference in tackles (104), tackles for loss (16) and sacks (nine) — he also led UAB in both tackles and sacks — and forced four fumbles in 13 contests.
The following season, Moll earned an All-American honorable mention nod after leading the Blazers with 59 tackles, including four for losses and two sacks in eight games.
Moll was considered a two-star recruit in the 2017 class out of Coral Gables (Florida) Senior High School and also held offers from Valdosta State and Albany before signing with the Blazers.
Moll is the latest in a series of transfer additions for the Huskies, which includes Afoa-Asoau, quarterback Michael Penix Jr. (Indiana), cornerback Jordan Perryman (UC Davis), safety Demario King (Cerritos College), punter Kevin Ryan (Idaho State), running back Aaron Dumas (New Mexico), wide receiver Lonyatta Alexander Jr. (Arizona State), linebacker Cam Bright (Pittsburgh), running back Wayne Taulapapa (Virginia) and running back/wide receiver Will Nixon (Nebraska).
UW also added eight high school signees in the 2022 recruiting class.
