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

    • This will be an interesting story to follow.  Venice has no proven RB headed in to spring which will be a first for a long time.  They have produced several Dairy Farmers player of the years in that position.  They also will have a massive offensive line with 2 three year starters who return as well as some stud young kids.  They will probably average around 6'4 295 on the line which is huge for Venice standards.  I just wonder if this will change before the start of the season.  I still fell like someone will show up.
    • Are you still talking to me??  Thought I was pretty clear for you not to waste your breath on this subject matter, but somehow you are missing the point.  Teacher unions have limited power in FL because the candidates they overwhelming support keep losing.  If they had won, the teacher union vote had a lot to do with it and would be wielding that power.  Osceola county which isn't a GOP stronghold during the past two national elections had the journalism students for the OHS monthly newsletter (Kowboy Jake) interview the faculty as to their political leanings.  A sample of about 30 teachers that were interviewed were voting as follows:  25 D vs 5 R.  Enough said.  
    • You missed the point of my union post. Teacher unions in strong union states have power. Florida unions have zero. They cant strike and the school board can implement a contract without the unions approval. Florida unions are not preventing any raise in Florida. The state has attacked a straw man here. 
    • As a general rule, I am not a big supporter of unions in the public sector in particular.  They certainly had a place in the private sector during the industrialization of our nation, but today not so much.  I have no first-hand experience with unions representing our local law enforcement or firefighters but my interaction with the teachers union over several years in that profession is the basis of my opinion.
