  03/05/23 - OG Jordan MorganrSr/2024, Arizona

  In an alternate reality, Arizona tackle Jordan Morgan would be in Indianapolis right now, participating in the NFL scouting combine. Morgan, the freakishly athletic lineman from Marana High School, had a breakout season in 2022. He had an invitation to the Senior Bowl. That typically leads to an invite to the combine. But in this reality, it wasn't meant to be. Morgan tore the ACL in his right knee on Nov. 12 at UCLA. He had surgery 18 days later. The injury changed the course of his life. Or at least altered the schedule. So there Morgan was Friday afternoon, sitting on a couch in the media room at Arizona Stadium, still wearing the UA red and blue. Nearly four months removed from the injury, Morgan has accepted his fate and embraced the challenge that lies ahead: Getting back to - or even surpassing - the level of play he had reached previously.

If he does so, he'll be in Indy at this time next year. Wildcats coach Jedd Fisch said Morgan had a chance to be a first-round draft pick if he hadn't gotten hurt. That goal is still within his grasp. It's just delayed. "That's a dream of mine," Morgan said. "Staying another year, I know the process. I know what to do right. I know what's wrong. It'll be smoother sailing now." Which isn't to say any of it will be easy. The average recovery time from a torn ACL is about nine months. Arizona's season opener is Sept. 2 - nine months and two days from Morgan's surgery. "He's doing phenomenal in his rehab," said Fisch, whose team opens spring practice March 14. "Right now it looks like he's scheduled to, if everything goes right, be able to play opening day. Now, that would be everything going right. "If not, you're looking at one week at a time after that. But he's running. He's out of the water, onto land. So that's a great sign." - Arizona Star News
