Who is Courtney Morgan? The presence who accompanied Kalen DeBoer to Alabama

Morgan played in 28 career games in five seasons, including 11 starts. He was versatile, playing all five linemen positions and helping the Wolverines to Big Ten Championships in 2000 and 2003. Morgan was a successful businessman before getting into coaching, co-founding Pure Influence Group and being the director of Client Development of Vanguard Sports Group.

He is big on brand awarenesses, brand strategy, and endorsements, which will help the Crimson Tide with name, image, and likeness (NIL) opportunities for players.

Morgan was with DeBoer as a general manager and elite recruiter at Fresno State in 2020 and 2021.

Before he spent several years in sports business, Morgan served as director of player development at UCLA in 2013 and 2014.

He was named the No. 3 recruiter in the Mountain West Conference for the class Fresno State brought in 2021.

After bringing in a strong class, Morgan left Fresno State to join Michigan’s staff in 2021. He helped his Alma mater get to the College Football Playoff as a director of player personnel. He has been at Washington the last two seasons with DeBoer, helping the Huskies to a 25-3 record. Morgan assisted DeBoer to getting Washington to a Pac-12 Championship and a College Football Playoff appearance last season. He is significant in recruiting, business acumen, and fostering relationships, but we’ll see what Morgan does at Alabama.
