“I’m back,” Morgan told Yea Alabama.

Morgan played in all 15 games as a true sophomore in 2025, and he started five of the final six games at the Husky position, replacing senior DaShawn Jones. Morgan recorded 26 tackles (17 solo), three tackles for loss, three quarterback hurries, one pass breakup and one forced fumble in his second year in the Alabama program. He also contributed on special teams.

As a true freshman in 2024, Morgan played in 12 of the Crimson Tide’s 13 games.
