How James Morgan went from being Bowling Green’s future to FIU’s present

As a middle school quarterback in Green Bay, James Morgan wore No. 4 and with a rocket right arm he naturally drew comparisons to Brett Favre’s gunslinger style of play.

But now wearing No. 12, FIU fans hope that his play continues to resemble a current Packer quarterback whose number he shares.

Morgan was rated as a top-20 quarterback in the nation and a four-star recruit coming out of Ashwaubenon High School by most major recruiting services.

When he signed with Bowling Green, he was viewed as the prize recruit of then Falcons head coach Dino Babers’ 2015 recruiting class.
