Rivals.com – Four-star DE Kamauryn Morgan commits to Baylor

Baylor has had a strong first week of June and it gets even stronger on Sunday evening.

The newest addition for the Bears comes in the form of South Oak Cliff (Texas) four-star defensive end Kamauryn Morgan.

Morgan is the second four-star prospect to join the Bears’ class this week, joining four-star wide receiver Jacorey Watson.

He chose Baylor over two other finalists in Texas A&M and SMU. The 6-foot-5, 230-pound defensive end took official visits to each program.

Morgan joins a Baylor class that has put an emphasis on loading up on defensive lineman. Alongside him, there are now five defensive lineman in the group, three ends and two interior prospects.

Before transferring to South Oak Cliff, Morgan turned in a strong junior season at Red Oak, where he racked up 61 total tackles, 14 tackles for loss, and 34 quarterback hurries. He also added 5.5 sacks three pass breakups, and two forced fumbles.

Already at 230-pounds and sure to add mass in a college weight room, Morgan looks to be a bit more of a power rusher than a speed rusher. Has also proven to be valuable in defending the run. Is not the most explosive off the line, but remains hard to get off his spot, in fact, he often displaces offensive lineman before then can do the same. Has shown a variety of pass rush moves to this point outside of just a common bull rush.

One thing Morgan does exceptionally well is tracking ball carriers and reacting in a timely manner to make a play or at least disrupt for others to capitalize. Contains the edge and funnels ball carriers into traffic. Sure handed tackler, does not let ball carriers out of his grasp once he has them.

May not be your first option for a pass rusher on third down, but certainly will provide value on first and second down to play the run and disrupt the quarterback when he is able to let loose.
