James Morgan (born February 28, 1997) is an American professional football quarterback for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He played college football at Florida International and Bowling Green before being drafted by the New York Jets in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL draft.

College career

A three-star recruit from Ashwaubenon High School in suburban Green Bay, Wisconsin,[1] Morgan chose Bowling Green for coach Dino Babers.[2] Morgan redshirted his freshman year, and after that season, Babers left for Syracuse.[3] After two years of new coach Mike Jinks' Air Raid offense, Morgan decided to transfer after the 2017 season, eventually landing on Florida International as his new school.[4] Morgan emailed a transfer pitch to 20 schools, and FIU coach Bryn Renner was the only person who responded to the email.[5] Due to Morgan finishing his prelaw degree during his three years at Bowling Green, he was eligible immediately at FIU as a graduate transfer.[6]

After his senior season, Morgan played in the 2020 East–West Shrine Bowl, throwing a touchdown and helping the East team to victory.[7] He also earned an invite to the 2020 NFL Combine.[8]
