TUCSON, Arizona — Before Jordan Morgan was throwing around Pac-12 defenders, he was throwing the discus, shot put, and javelin for Marana High School track and field.
Morgan was skilled enough to qualify for the state championship in all three throws. It was then off to play football for the University of Arizona, where Morgan would be part of the program's twenty game losing streak. Morgan improved enough to become first team All-Pac-12, but more adversity would follow. Morgan might have declared for last year's NFL Draft if he hadn't torn his ACL late in the 2002 season.Morgan returned for his final season of eligibility. He became a 247 Sports All-American, and he helped Arizona to its best season in twenty five years.
