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." ✦
