Dark horse UDFA with upside but needs to develop power and hand technique.

Morgan projects as a depth option vying for a backup spot behind starter Mike Onwenu at right guard, with potential to develop into his successor as Onwenu heads for free agency in 2027. The source describes him as a 'dark horse roster candidate' competing for one of the final interior offensive line spots against fellow UDFAs Jacob Rizy, Andrew Rupcich, Caedan Wallace, and Mehki Butler. Despite not testing particularly well athletically, Morgan has the tools to develop into a backup in the NFL and potential starter further down the line. His 2025 season at UAB showed marked improvement: he reduced his negative play rate in pass protection from 3.4% to 2.5% and helped his team average 5.6 yards per carry and 10 rushing touchdowns to his side of the formation after moving full-time to right guard. However, his power, hand usage, and punch timing are not yet at the level needed to hold firm against higher-quality competition than what he faced at UAB; his hands and feet can get disconnected, and he may need to rebuild his hand usage from the ground up to compete against pro-level interior defensive linemen.
