Three-star safety Red Morgan picks FSU over Auburn

Auburn was unable to keep the three-star safety home.

Auburn was able to reel in one in-state target on July 4th in [autotag]D’Angelo Barber[/autotag] but missed out on another when three-star safety [autotag]Red Morgan[/autotag] committed to Florida State.

He announced the move Tuesday night on Instagram, picking them over Auburn, Alabama, Miami, Mississippi State and Cincinnati

Morgan, who is from Phenix City, Alabama, took several visits to Auburn and had said Auburn “feels like home” back in May but he officially visited the Seminoles on June 2 and decided to take his talents to the ACC.

He told Dane Draper of 247Sports that his relationship with Florida State’s coaches separated them from Auburn and the rest of his finalist.

“The relationship I got with [head] coach (Mike) Norvell, [defensive back] coach (Pat) Surtain, and [defensive coordinator] coach (Adam) Fuller, and the rest of the coaches,” Morgan said.

While Auburn missed out on Morgan, they have already landed three four-star defensive backs in corners [autotag]A’Mon Lane[/autotag] and[autotag] Jayden Lewis[/autotag] and safety [autotag]Kensley Faustin[/autotag].

Auburn CB target Red Morgan to commit on July 4th

Auburn is battling FSU, Alabama, Miami, Mississippi State and Cincinnati for the Central-Phenix City product.

Auburn is one of six finalists for in-state cornerback [autotag]Red Morgan[/autotag] and the three-star prospect is ready to announce his commitment.

The Central-Phenix City product will be committing on July 4th, he announced on Twitter Sunday night. Auburn is battling FSU, Alabama, Miami, Mississippi State and Cincinnati for Morgan.

The 6-foot, 175-pounder has taken several visits to Auburn and was supped to officially visit but a family issue caused him to change his plans. At the time there was little concern but the Seminoles are now surging for him.

He officially visited them on June 2 and on Sunday, four 247Sports experts predicted that he would pick FSU over Auburn and the rest of his finalists on Tuesday.

He is the No. 564 overall player and No. 55 safety in the 247Sports Composite ranking. He is also the No. 28 player from Alabama.

Auburn is ‘high on the list’ for in-state safety Red Morgan

He is one of several Auburn targets at Central-Phenix City.

Auburn hosted a talented group of local prospects Thursday in safety [autotag]Red Morgan[/autotag], five-star wide receiver [autotag]Cam Coleman[/autotag], offensive lineman [autotag]Mal Waldrep[/autotag] and wide receiver [autotag]Daylyn Upshaw[/autotag]. All four play for nearby Central-Phienix City and have Auburn offers.

The group was hosted by Auburn wide receivers coach [autotag]Marcus Davis[/autotag] and while he plays on the opposite side of the ball, Morgan enjoyed his time with Davis.

“It feels like home,” he told Auburn Live’s Jeffrey Lee of the campus. “It does. The coaches, how they treat us, they feel like father figures. Coach Davis, he’s not even my position coach, but the relationship we have … I mess with Coach Davis.”

It was Morgan’s second visit under the new staff and it made quite the impression on the 6-foot, 175-pounder.

“They’re high on the list,” he added.

Morgan is the No. 499 overall player and No. 49 safety in the 247Sports Composite ranking. He is also the No. 27 player in Alabama.

Morgan is planning to return to Auburn for an official visit sometime in June before announcing his commitment either during the summer or early in the fall. He already has official visits scheduled with Michigan State (June 2), Cincinnati (June 9) and Miami (June 30).

The Tigers have already landed four-star cornerbacks [autotag]A’Mon Lane[/autotag] and [autotag]Jayden Lewis[/autotag] in the 2024 recruiting cycle but are still looking for their first commit at safety.
