Money quote: What does Morgan believe he brings to the program?

Tweets of wonder: Unfortunately, he’s a University of Syracuse recruit. One day, we’ll prevail over them.

What movie would Dino recommend for him?: Remember “Watchmen” back in 2009? Jeffery Dean Morgan plays “The Comedian” in the movie adaptation of the graphic novel. Of course, you might know Morgan in his other roles on “Grey’s Anatomy” and “The Walking Dead,” to name a few.

Interesting nugget o’interest: Fellow Canton High School graduate Damien Lewis played for LSU for the past two seasons and was named to the All-SEC Second Team. Lewis was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the third round of the 2020 NFL draft. Two rounds later the Seahawks selected former Syracuse defensive end Alton Robinson.
