Southern’s Morgan means to make mark as receiver

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- There are few places the Southern football team needs help more than wide receiver.

Preseason All-Southwestern Athletic Conference selection Lee Doss is the league’s reigning receptions leader, but no other wideout on the Southern roster had double-digit catches last year.

That explains why sophomore Justin Morgan has returned to the offensive side of the ball after spending his freshman season playing defensive back.



“It’s a lot of kids’ dream just to come here and play for a school like this,” Morgan said. “If I get my chance to play, I’m going to make the most of it.”

Listed as an “athlete” when he signed with Southern two years ago, Morgan played quarterback, wide receiver and defensive back at Pell City High School in Alabama.
