Alabama freshman DB has a toughness that his teammates, coaches love

He was not the most physically imposing defensive back in the University of Alabama’s 2024 football recruiting class, yet he performs much bigger than what he is.

Red Morgan, a former four-star, made it impossible for Kane Wommack and the Crimson Tide’s defensive coaching staff to not play him versus Western Kentucky. The talented freshman was nothing but impressive in spring practice, summer workouts, and preseason camp. A product of Central High School in Phenix City, Ala., Morgan earned several reps against the Hilltoppers last week in a 63-0 victory for the Tide at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The 6-foot, 186-pounder can jump out the gym, but he is also tough as nails.
