Michigan football loses top recruiting staffer Courtney Morgan to Washington
Less than a year after he returned to Ann Arbor to lead Michigan football’s recruiting department, Courtney Morgan is leaving for Washington, the Free Press confirmed Monday.
Morgan joined the Wolverines as director of player personnel in April, replacing Matt Dudek. Reports have indicated Morgan will assume the same role with the Huskies.

Morgan, a former Michigan offensive lineman, was among a slew of new hires last offseason as head coach Jim Harbaugh added six new on-field assistants and revamped the sector Morgan was tasked with running. The Wolverines, however, have had modest success building their 2022 class, which is ranked 14th in the nation and includes only five players rated four stars or above.
The early signing period for the class of 2022 begins Dec. 15.
At Washington, Morgan will be reunited head coach Kalen DeBoer. In 2020, Morgan served as director of player personnel in DeBoer's first season at Fresno State.
