Article is new, long enough and neutral. It is sourced with inline citations. For some references, I have limited or no access. I AGF for them. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector " reports insignificant text similarities only. The hook, I prefer the original one, is well-formatted, and interesting. Its length is within limit. For the accuracy of the hook's fact, I AGF of the references (#2, #11), which I can not access. QPQ was done. Good to go by AGF. CeeGee 10:52, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fun read! On hold. Over to you. ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 05:23, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@LunaEatsTuna Thanks for the review! I believe everything is taken care of, so it's ready for another look! PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 14:58, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Anytime! Looks great; definitely good enough now to pass. Congrats! ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 23:19, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio check[edit]

Earwig gives no concerns.

Prose[edit]

The infobox says he was born in Greenwood, Arkansas, but the body says he was born in St. Louis, Missouri.
- Good catch, fixed. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 14:57, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"He played college football at Arkansas" – specify the Arkansas Razorbacks for uninformed readers. Also helpful as just Razorbacks is mentioned later in the lead.
- Added. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 14:57, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Morgan, the son of" – specify Grant Morgan as first mention in the body.
- Added. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 14:57, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Relatedly, include his birthdate at the end of the aforementioned sentence as well.

- Done. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 14:57, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Wikilink redshirting (to somewhere).
- Linked to Redshirt (college sports)
"and a season-high eight in the last game of the season, against Missouri" – is the comma really necessary here?
- Removed. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 14:57, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Wikilink Penn State.
- Linked to 2021 Penn State Nittany Lions football team
"Morgan was named a finalist for the Burlsworth Trophy which is given to the best player in the nation who began their college career as a walk-on, alongside" reads a bit jagged, how about "Morgan was named a finalist for the Burlsworth Trophy – which is given to the best national player who began their college career as a walk-on – alongside" instead?
- Fixed as recommended. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 14:57, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The citation at the end of "alongside Carlton Martial and Stetson Bennett" is unnecessary IMO as the same citation at the very end of the paragraph cites everything all together.
- Moved. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 14:57, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"The trophy ceremony was held at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art on December 6, 2021" – the year is not necessary here as it is mentioned earlier.
- Removed. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 14:57, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In § Professional career, remove the years from the last two dates.
