Since I can't edit the pages I am including his hudl package with this post. He's listed as an ATH/QB/FS but Mike and I figured he projects as a safety and he built the 24/7 profile to that effect.

NLI is in for ATH Gerald Morgan (6’ 2” 190) of Fitzgerald High School in Fitzgerald, GA. He’s officially a MOUNTAINEER!!!

A lot of big plays on that tape. I wonder if he will return some punts for us as well.
Rated as a two-star prospect by 247Sports ... named first-team Georgia 2A all-state as a senior in 2014 ... despite spending much of his senior campaign at quarterback, was the state of Georgia’s second-leading rusher in 2014 with 2,299 yards on the ground in 2014 ... averaged 7.6 yards per rush and scored 27 touchdowns on the ground as a senior ... also threw for 1,382 yards and 17 touchdowns and caught two passes for 57 yards during senior campaign ... prior to his senior season, spent much of his prep career as a defensive back ... tallied 74 career tackles and eight interceptions (three as a sophomore, four as a junior, one as a senior) ... also recorded three pass break-ups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery as a defensive back ... helped lead Fitzgerald to a 13-2 record and a berth in the Georgia 2A state semifinals as a senior

just read this bio- WOW!

Based on some of last years redshirts and some of the guys we've brought in this year I don't see returner being any problem at all for several years to come. Lots of choices.

Honestly not surprised we offered him. Our staff has done a good job this year of having quality backups in place for nearly every position we were after. The surprise part was for me personally that I picked up on him so late. I only added the name to my notes a couple of weeks ago and didn't even have time to research him and add him to the Main Page, even in the Considering section.

He's a lot like Boggs last year and Ed Davis this year in that, playing at the lower state divisions, they flew under the radar. Have a pretty good feeling he'll work out very well for us. Others loss is our gain.

I heard that the Miller kid from N. Davidson would not be signing-reason -he can't qualify . True??

Is Mock Adams potentially the real deal? If so, how did we snatch another big time receiver away from Clempsin or the Cocks? Are we going to be scary at wideout? Is Adams going to be shirted or is he a possible to play right out of the gate?

No info on that as of right now. We'll know at the signing day event tonight at the latest.

Hope they redshirt Adams. With Letman, Jones, McGuire and Meadors it looks like we've got enough size out there.

Any talk of Victor Johnson moving to TE? Bio says he went to Shrine Bowl as a TE. He would be beast (potenially) blocking and catching passes in space.

Doesn't look that way. By his own words on his Rivals interview at the Shrine Bowl he was down in weight due to wrestling and that's why he played TE. But he said he was recruited as an OLineman the whole way with us. Anything can change but sounds like he's working on getting his weight back up already.

If that could be the case, I wonder if our surprise signee was a backup plan for Miller if the coaches thought he might not qualify

Saw where Fortune signed with GS as a WR.

Scout reporting that Miller has a paperwork problem not to be construed to mean he won't qualify or sign. Likely to sign later.

Of all the schools to flip this kid. Is this at all sketchy to anyone?

No, i don't think it's sketchy at all. They've been on him for a while now. He gets to stay in his home state. We recruited him as a DB (projected at safety) and jaja suthin recruited him as a wr.

It's really similar to what happened for us with Noil last year (except for the staying in state thing).

Frankly, I think there is more to the story. But, it is what it is. I'm not regretting the job our coaches did with this class.

I don't really care let him go. He will get a rude awakening when he heads up the mountain next year. That being said who in there right mind would ever go to Georgia so as a wide receiver someone didn't do there homework Lol
