FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas linebacker Grant Morgan was the recipient of the Burlsworth Trophy, presented annually to the most outstanding college football player who began his career as a walk-on.
One season after being named a finalist for the award, the Greenwood, (Ark.) native helped Arkansas back to respectability during the regular season with an 8-4 record. Morgan finished with 96 total tackles which ranks second on the team. He also had seven tackles for a loss and 0.5 sack.
Morgan began his Razorback career as a walk-on with the 2016 class. He made a name for himself as Drew’s little brother but the name wouldn’t always stick.
