LINK to Story Spurned By Stanford Morgan Informed Thursday To Look Elsewhere By Brent Yarina E-Mail This Author McKinneySports.net Staff Writer Published: Jan. 26, 2007 10:58 AM Stanford University informed Eddie Morgan via e-mail late Thursday night that he should find a new school. Morgan, a three year starter for McKinney High, verbally committed to Stanford on Sept. 24. He selected the Cardinal over TCU, Duke and Air Force. “They pretty much just pulled his scholarship,” Morgan’s father Earl said. “The new coaching staff re-evaluated and re-ranked Eddie and his new ranking coupled with his SAT scores were not good enough to get him admitted.” Stanford fired head coach Walt Harris at the end of the season and hired former NFL quarterback Jim Harbaugh. Morgan was unavailable for comment at time of publication. Earl said Eddie was “devastated” by the turn of events. Morgan started both ways for McKinney, logging 86 tackles and one sack and scoring a team-high 18 touchdowns. He was named the McKinneyNews.net Elite 11 Defensive MVP and District 9-4A Special Teams MVP. Morgan scored a touchdown in every conceivable way during his career. Earl called the process an injustice. He said it’s understandable if a school opts to go in another direction, but not two weeks before National Signing Day. “I think he got a bad deal on this,” Earl said. “I can understand a school having a change of mind. Signing day is Feb. 7. This just doesn’t afford him enough time.” Earl said Stanford coaches first advised Eddie to start looking at other options Jan. 15. But it wasn’t until late Thursday that the verdict arrived. “It’s a tough process,” Earl said. “We have no idea what we’re going to do. We’ll meet tonight and try to figure something out.” Problem is, most schools have completed their recruiting process and awarded all of their available scholarships. “It’s a possibility he might not be at a [Division] I school for football,” Earl said. “It will work out somehow.” From Dallasblog.com McKinney speedy star dropped McKinney star WR/DB Eddie Morgan is left looking for a scholarship with the sudden and very unclassy Stanford move of reneging on a scholarship offer. Mckinneysports.net reported Morgan was told Stanford's new coach (Jim Harbaugh) had decided not to honor its offer. Morgan is a hard-hitting DB, with good hands at WR and a terrific special teams returning that should be at the top of SMU. TCU and North Texas lists.
