Safety/linebacker Thamail Morgan, who attended the Arkansas-Eastern Michigan game, said the move from Newport to Cave City has allowed him to grow as a person.

“I wanted to get mature and wiser and that’s what I did by coming to the school.” Morgan said.

Morgan, 6-0, 211, 4.50 said in Tuesday’s recruiting column that he enjoyed meeting Shiloh Christian junior quarterback Kiehl Frazier. He also had the chance to talk to Alabama linebacker Martaze Jackson, receiver Marquel Wade and linebacker Montaque Mack of Andrew Jackson high school in Jacksonville, Florida.

“I enjoyed meeting the guys from Tallahassee and the Alabama kid,” Morgan said. “I hit it off with the Alabama kid. We exchanged numbers and played a game of pool.”

After the game, Morgan was able to talk with receivers Jarius Wright and Joe Adams along with linebacker Jerry Franklin.

“Some people have compared me to him and then able to meet someone that people compare me to is mind boggling,” Morgan said of Franklin. “He told me a few pointers he told me to keep your head up and stay straight and always be prepared for anything. He told me a few things about college. I enjoyed every moment that I spent with the guys.”
