2019 NFL Draft Profile: Wide Receiver Stanley Morgan

Morgan holds all the major Nebraska career receiving records. Where will he fit at the next level?

Stanley Morgan Jr. could have gone pro after his junior season, but new coach Scott Frost got some welcome news last winter when Morgan announced that he would come back to Nebraska to play his senior year. Stanley already held the single season receiving record at Nebraska at 986 yards (2017), having eclipsed the great Johnny Rodgers and coming ever sooooooo close to that quadruple digit barrier.

Most Husker fans were thrilled that Morgan was returning. But there were questions as some thought JD Spielman fit the Frost offense better than Stanley. Would he end up being eclipsed by his freshman All-American teammate?

The short version is “no”. Morgan started the year slowly (relatively speaking) as he sat at 393 yards receiving halfway through the season (Spielman was at 552 yards). Morgan needed to average 101 yards/game to reach the elusive 1000 yard mark for the season.
