Sad News: About a minute ago Arkansas Razorbacks key player die in a Car Crash….

Morgan has spent the previous two seasons in Champaign, Illinois as assistant linebackers coach under ex-Razorbacks and current Illinois coach Bret Bielema.

He signed with Arkansas out of Greenwood High School during the 2016 recruiting cycle as a preferred walk-on and went onto have the ultimate college experience by the time he left school for a chance at the NFL.

Over the next six seasons, Morgan would see his playing time increase and saw his role quickly grow from special teamer to scholarship linebacker during the summer of 2018 under then first-year coach Chad Morris.

When Coach Sam Pittman was hired ahead of the 2020 season, Morgan was voted as one of four team captains, leading the team in tackles with 111 total and a team-high 71 solo stops. His superb 10-game campaign earned him first team All-SEC honors and named All-American by Walter Camp Football Foundation and American Football Coaches Association members.

Due to COVID-19, the NCAA awarded all players who participated during the 2020 season an extra year of eligibility which Morgan and several others around the country took advantage of.

He finished his ‘super senior’ season second on the team in tackles with 101 and helped Arkansas win nine games, the Razorbacks most in one season since 2011.
