Despite the fact that he was an all-state defensive lineman who lead his team in tackles as a senior, Morgan, a 6-1, 235-pounder, will head to Stillwater as a long-snapper prospect.

After his commitment, here’s what he told The Des Moines Register about his decision:

I had a lot of opportunities at other places, but this one was the best one for my family and me. Coach Gundy’s really built that program up. They’ve been winning, and I just had a great feeling about it.

He accepted OSU’s offer as a preferred walk-on over similar offers from Baylor, Arkansas, Iowa State, and Memphis.
