Coach Dan Hunt on Chris: "Another guy who changed positions. He changed from defensive back to outside linebacker, which isn't always something a skilled kid wants to do. He has defined the position. Not a lot of people get a chance to define the position. He's the first kid who really stuck there and now when we recruit that position, we say let's get another Chris Morgan. Hopefully, he understands that he really changed the dynamic of what we're looking for at that position. He never complains; he brings attitude in a positive way every day and has grown with that. Good teams have players like that and we have a good team. When you have a player who puts the team first and embraces what we ask him to do, you're going to be successful. I know that he's going to be successful when he leaves here."
