One of the worst kept secrets was which school DJ Morgan from Taft High in Woodland Hills would commit to, if offered. Stanford and Florida were the first schools to offer Morgan a scholarship, but the scholarship offer from USC was the one he wanted. Morgan received the USC offer and verbally committed after practice on Tuesday.
WeAreSC's Brian Matthews spoke with Morgan's brother, who confirmed the commitment to USC. Morgan was asleep at the time, so we'll have a full report tomorrow regarding his commitment.
Last season Morgan rushed for 1,173 yards and 10 touchdowns on 173 carries and had 19 receptions for 230 yards and three touchdowns. And his combination as threat carrying and catching the ball will earn him a spot as one of the elite prospects in the 2010 class.
Although Morgan is a football player running track, he runs the 110m hurdles and the 400m hurdles and his fastest time in the 400 hurdles is 53.06 and 14.14 in the 100m hurdles. "I’m the fastest in the world in my age group in both of those (events)," Morgan said.
We'll have more from Morgan tomorrow.
