Alabama football’s 2026 wide receiver signee Cederian Morgan is confident in Derrick Nix, who is expected to be the Crimson Tide’s next wide receiver coach.
Morgan signed with the Crimson Tide in December after being verbally committed to Alabama since July. Alabama’s current wide receiver coach and Oregon State’s head coach JaMarcus Shephard played a significant role in Morgan committing to the Tide, and Morgan was looking forward to playing under him. However, he still signed with the Tide, knowing Shephard was moving on.
The Alexander City, Alabama, native previously said he was confident Alabama would make a good hire to fill its wide receiver coaching role.
