Revisiting Morgan’s College Career
During his freshman year in 2019, Morgan appeared in six games on the offensive line with two starts at left tackle. He made his first collegiate start at left tackle at Oregon (Nov. 16) and started again in the season finale at ASU (Nov. 30).
As a sophomore, Morgan started Arizona’s first two games of the season at left tackle before missing the final three games of the COVID-19-shortened season due to an injury. He helped pave the way for big rushing games by Wildcat backs that included 158 yards against USC.
In his junior year, Morgan played and started in the final 11 games of the season. He missed the season opener due to injury but was the full-time starter at left tackle for the rest of the season.
Morgan started 10 games in his fourth season with the Wildcats and posted an 82.0 pass-blocking rating, ranking 33rd in the nation per Pro Football Focus. He ranked 21st nationally in offensive blocking with a rating of 83.1, 36th in run blocking with a rating of 78.6, and allowed one sack in 670 total snaps including 443 passing snaps while posting a 97.8% efficiency rating.

Morgan’s Potential in the NFL
Pro Football Network draft analyst Ian Cummings said Morgan is one of many high-upside prospects in the 2024 OT class, but his projected positional versatility adds extra appeal.
“Morgan has the physical skills and the necessary fail-safes — such as balance, strength, leverage, and awareness — to be a competent starter early in his career, and he can keep building on that foundation toward an impact-starter ceiling,” Cummings wrote in his scouting report.
“However, because Morgan’s middling length is paired with inconsistent hand precision, a move inside to guard could mitigate that weakness and also allow Morgan to more routinely channel his burst, range, natural leverage, point-of-contact power, rotational freedom, and finishing physicality.”
Cummings said some of Morgan’s strengths include being an explosive, high-energy athlete at the snap who moves and recalibrates with little strain and having the swift lateral burst to match stunting rushers effortlessly while staying in phase.
