Thanks SO MUCH for bringing Stanley to Nebraska, Monique.  It has been a true pleasure watching him play. You've made a fine young man, and we are a better place because he's been here.

Stanley Morgan's motivation goes beyond record game; NU wide receiver ‘owes everything’ to mother

 

Morgan’s mother, Monique Jason, pointed to her only son and screamed in joy. Parents flocked around Jason, who was sporting a custom-made and bedazzled “Stan The Man” jersey.

 

They knew what she’d done to bring Morgan to this point. What she’d had to navigate her son through while his namesake sat in a Mississippi prison cell.

 

And Morgan knew, too. That muggy December night and still today.

 

It’s why he has a tattoo on his wrist. Why he knows Etta James songs by heart, and why the pursuit of one of Nebraska’s oldest records won’t be his focus in the Huskers’ final game on Friday against Iowa.

 

On the final day of Nebraska’s disappointing season, Morgan could paint a silver lining by eclipsing Johnny Rodgers’ 1972 receiving record of 942 yards. Morgan’s currently at 912.

 

But he also knows that kids like him don’t make it to places like this. And he knows why he’s here. He knows why he plays.

 

“After God,” Crutchfield said, “he owes everything he has to his mom.”

True that, though I honestly want this man, and all of the men playing for DoNU, to experience success away from and long after their days on the gridiron are over.

True....as always.

Stan would do great in a Scott Frost offense because I think he would do great in any offense. He's a stud. Now I would love if he stayed his last year at Nebraska but I can see why he would want to try the NFL. That decision is gonna be up to him and his family. I'll support and wish him the best either way. We all should.
