BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- There’s no shortage of versatile athletes on the Southern football roster. But even with all-conference players such as Lee Doss and Virgil Williams, and blossoming newcomers Lenard Tillery and Willie Quinn, wide receiver Justin Morgan may be the most complete athlete on the team.Morgan — a sophomore from Pell City, Ala., 30 miles outside of Birmingham — came to The Bluff two years ago as a talented high school quarterback, center fielder and pitcher, where he batted .370 his senior season to go with 26 stolen bases.
“I was recruited as a quarterback, but I came in as an athlete,” Morgan said. “I ended up playing defensive back last season. And then heading into this season, I ended up at receiver; and against Arkansas-Pine Bluff (a 29-21 Southern win Saturday), I played some running back.”
Morgan even to quarterback when the Jaguars attempted a fake field goal.
He was on the receiving end of two Dray Joseph pass attempts. He attempted a pass of his own. He had one rushing attempt.
