says he gave a commitment to play at Arizona State May 20, citing a mutual interest between the two parities. Turns out, however, that pledge was short lived. Less than a week after Mor- gan committed to the Sun Devils, Notre Dame offered him a scholarship, and that threw another wrench in his re- cruitment. "I'm not really sure what to think," Morgan said at the time. "It's a really big deal [to get the offer], especially with me having family out there and just Notre Dame as a school — it's something else." Morgan decommitted from Arizona State July 11. A few days later, he was on the phone with Denbrock setting up his official visit. "He's a players' coach," Morgan said of Denbrock. "I spent a lot of time with Coach Denbrock on the visit. We were just hanging out in the player's lounge and shooting hoops. I liked that. We have a real good relationship." It also happens to be one that sold Morgan on the Irish. The 6-3, 200-pounder committed to the Irish over his other finalists California and Colorado. While he's listed as a safety, there's a chance he could play linebacker at the next level. According to Morgan, he's more than OK with that if it gets him on the field earlier in his career. "The coaches said that I'm a big prior- ity and that I would play strong safety," Morgan said. "But if my body continues to develop, they said that they could even move me down to linebacker. "They think I'm really flexible and have the ability to play multiple posi- tions, and would even have the chance to play early as a true freshman." ✦ Authentic Notre Dame Helmets by Authentic "Speed" Full-Size Display Helmets Riddell's ND "Speed" helmet features a large-size shell, special-order facemask worn by most of the star players who choose to wear the Speed, internal padding reflective of the "Speed Classic" design, and 4-pt. chinstrap.
