veteran UCLA DT with leverage, burst, and run-stopping juice
In the 2002 season, UCLA listed Steve Morgan as a senior defensive tackle and noted he was a veteran expected to contribute inside; the Bruins described him as a strong run stopper when he plays with leverage, with good hand use, explosive first-step burst, and uncommon straight-line speed for a DT[1][2]. His 2001 production was modest but useful—nine tackles, 1.5 sacks, and two tackles for loss in 11 games—so the appeal is less about gaudy stats and more about steadiness, effort, and disruptive traits that fit a rotational interior role[1].
