It’s now officially official.
April Fool’s Day, DJ Morgan took to Twitter to announce that he had decided to continue his collegiate playing career at UConn. A couple of days later, the football program confirmed that announcement wasn’t some sort of prank as the AAC football program utilized the same social media vehicle to acknowledge the addition of the linebacker to the Huskies roster.
Morgan had decided earlier this offseason that he would transfer from Notre Dame.

As a graduate transfer, Morgan will be eligible to play immediately for the Huskies in 2019. As an added bonus, he’ll also have another year of eligibility he can use in 2020.
Morgan, a three-star 2016 signee, took a redshirt as a true freshman, then appeared in two games the following season. After moving from safety to linebacker, Morgan didn’t see the field at all in 2018.
