Former Hoover High School standout Jeremiah Moon will be back with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025.

The NFL team announced on Friday the outside linebacker had signed a one-year contract after playing in 13 games, with one start, for Pittsburgh in 2024.

Moon entered the offseason as an exclusive-rights free agent – a player with two or fewer NFL accrued seasons and an expiring contract. Because the Steelers did not tender Moon a contract before the start of the league’s 2025 business year on March 12, he became an unrestricted free agent. But he still returned to Pittsburgh.

An All-State defensive end for Hoover in 2015, Moon played six seasons at Florida before entering the NFL as an undrafted rookie with the Baltimore Ravens in 2022.

Moon spent his rookie season on the Baltimore practice squad. In 2023, he appeared on the active roster and the practice squad and played in eight games, with one start.

Moon also played in a postseason contest for the Ravens before Baltimore waived him on Jan. 26, 2024, to create a roster spot for tight end Mark Andrews, who made it back from injured reserve just in time for the AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

After spending the first four weeks of the 2024 season on injured reserve because of an ankle injury, Moon was on the field for 111 defensive snaps and 222 special-teams plays. He also played in the Steelers’ 28-14 loss to Baltimore in the first round of the AFC playoffs.
