Quarterback set school records last year in passing yards and touchdowns
University of Minnesota football coach P.J. Fleck named quarterback Tanner Mogran the team's Nekton of the Week. Morgan is the team's fourth Nekton of the Week, as the Gophers are now into their off-season workouts. Previous Nektons of the Week have been receiver Chris Autman-Bell, running back Mohamed Ibrahim and defensive back Jordan Howden.Â
Morgan, who will be a junior in the fall, set school single-season passing records last season in yards, touchdowns passes, completion percentage, passing yards per game, touchdown-interception ratio and pass efficiency rating.
Morgan led the Gophers to an 11-2 record last season and is 15-4 as a starter. He was named All-Big Ten Second Team and was a semifinalist for the Davey O'Brien Award and The Manning Award.Â
Morgan has played in 22 career games and has thrown for 4,654 yards and 39 touchdowns.Â
Minnesota opens the 2020 season on Sept. 3 at home against Florida Atlantic. Season tickets are on sale now.
