JaCobian Morgan Gets First Career Start vs Boston College

Syracuse freshman quarterback JaCobian Morgan is expected to get first career start against Boston College on Saturday. He is the third quarterback to start a game for the Orange this season, joining Tommy DeVito and Rex Culpepper. 

DeVito got hurt against Duke and has not played since. Culpepper has had his struggles since taking over for DeVito, but suffered an injury during practice this week according to Stephen Bailey of 247Sports. That paved the way for Morgan to get his first start.

Morgan saw action last week in mop up duty against Wake Forest. He went 7-7 with a touchdown in his only drive, and chatter grew amongst the fan base to see more of him. They get their wish this week. 

"The touchdown throw was a good throw on time," Babers said earlier this week. "That would have worked no matter what was going on. Out of those seven throws where he did where he was supposed to do, I like the last one the best."

Morgan is a true freshmen who signed with Syracuse out of Canton High School in Mississippi. He threw for 2,437 yards with 27 passing touchdowns during his senior season. Morgan also ran for three touchdowns. In addition to quarterback, Morgan also spent time at wide receiver during his junior year.

Morgan is listed at 6-4, 203 pounds on the Syracuse Athletics website. He picked Syracuse over offers from Jackson Sate and Austin Peay.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
