James Morgan’s beard is red … but it might as well be gray given the amount of experience the FIU quarterback will bring into the 2019 season.
Priot to FIU, Morgan spent three years at Bowling Green, playing in 18 games. The native of Green Bay, Wisconsin, arrived at FIU last summer and started 12 games for the Panthers, earning Conference USA Newcomer of the Year honors.
He missed FIU’s Bahamas Bowl game win in December because of an arm injury, but he’s healthy this spring and fully in control of the Panthers offense.
