Here is a little more up to date information on Morgan Newton. Scouts.com did not seem to update Newton's offers. He has over 12 now. He has been getting offers since last summer. Here is a short list of written offers: IU, Purdue, Iowa, Louisville, UK, Clemson, VA, Nebraska, and University of Minnesota. Michigan and OSU are courting him. I guess they are waiting on TP's decision before they offer. His parents are from Louisiana.

He will probably continue to look at schools until signing day. He is a very classy and an intelligent kid. He just started to attend camps this year because he was a 3-sport athlete (basketball, football, and baseball) and his schedule did not permit extended travel. I understand from his Dad that he will not play baseball this Spring and will use the time to visit football programs.

His football style is that he will look to throw the football before he runs. He can do both very well. He is extremely strong and very hard to tackle. He is a young Junior - only 16 years old. Some would say he has deceptive speed because of his long strive. I hope Rivals or Scout will post his Junior highlights. He is impressive!

Morgan is an outstanding player. I've seen him play several times from when in was in elementary school, junior high and even a couple of games last season.

Morgan is also great student and well-rounded, intelligent individual that teams after.....

Why haven't we offered Morgan Newton yet? I like him over McCarron and Sheppard as far as our offense goes. Has the size (6'5 205) and the speed 4.5/40. Accounted for 13 passing TDs and 9 rushing TDs with only 3 INT and 1300 yards of total offense. While his stats aren't overly gaudy as his team likely ran some form of the option... I like this kid all around and think he could develop well behind Perrilloux, Lee, and Jefferson. He is also an honor roll student who will have no trouble qualifying.

IMO Morgan Newton should definitely have a offer also and is better than McCarron who is prob going to Bama anyways which they could have him.

Both of you posted this a month before Shepard committed to LSU. And yes, I am curious as to why we didn't even give this Newton guy an offer back then.
