A ‘second to none’ work ethic has helped Semaj Morgan find early success

Coming out of high school, Semaj Morgan was not viewed as a true WR1 by most talent evaluators. In fact, most saw the West Bloomfield native as a slot receiver, and strictly a slot receiver, at 5-foot-10, 175 pounds. He was a consensus three-star with very few offers, but Michigan was in on him very early and earned his commitment without ever a wavering eye.

On Saturday, he showed why Michigan wanted him, regardless of what the recruiting experts thought. He caught a beauty of a fade pass thrown by J.J. McCarthy in the second quarter against Rutgers to put the Wolverines up by seven points at halftime.
