Who Is This FL HS Legend? Dan Morgan/Taravella

Recommended Posts

You wouldn't necessarily think it by looking at this high school picture, but this guy went on to become an absolute stud in college and ultimately the NFL.

1. Where did he play in high school?

2. Where did he go to college and what position did he play?

3. He won numerous awards in college.  Name one of them.

Recognized him instantly. Dan Morgan from Taravella. If I remember correctly he was a fullback/running back in high school. Started at OLB at Miami as a true freshman along side Nate Webster. Moved to the middle when Webster left early (big mistake, they would have beat Washington has Webster stayed, IMO) As a senior at Miami he won almost every major defensive award including the Nagurski, Butkus. and Bednarik

Beat the Washington Huskies? Do you mean in 2000 when the Hurricanes lost to UW early in the season and FSU got to play Oklahoma for the NC in the Orange Bowl instead of Miami, even though The Hurricanes beat the Seminoles in the regular season?

That's the game. Had Webster stayed, Morgan would have been on the outside at his regular position and the defense could have held while the offense, under Dorsey's first road start could have found its footing. Webster was an All-American that left a year early. 

The offense didn't get going until the second half. Washington scored almost all their points in the first half. 

Just my opinion.

They tried to give Bowden a few national titles

    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy
