Alabama officially announced the hiring of Courtney Morgan as the program’s general manager on Friday.

Morgan previously served in a similar role under head coach Kalen DeBoer at Washington from 2022-23.

“Coutney is such an important part of our program,” DeBoer said in a statement. “He has great relationships across the country and is an essential part of helping us recruit and evaluate talent both at the high school level and in the transfer portal. Courtney is an important pillar in what we are trying to accomplish at Alabama, and I am very excited to be able to bring him to Tuscaloosa.”

Alabama’s announcement also defined what Morgan’s role will be as the program’s general manager:

“Morgan will be tasked with managing the Crimson Tide’s roster while overseeing and directing the daily operations of both the personnel and recruiting departments. He will help organize the head coaches film evaluations and prospect communication while also organizing transfer portal evaluations. Morgan is also tasked with supervising internal brand management for Alabama football.”

Morgan shared that he is excited to continue working with DeBoer and “continuing the standard” in Tuscaloosa:

“I love working for Coach DeBoer and I am looking forward to continuing the standard that Alabama football has set,” Morgan said in a release. “Everyone on this staff has the same common goal, and we believe in Coach DeBoer’s process of what it takes to win. Trust and hard work are such an important part of success and I’m always ready to go to work and I completely trust Coach DeBoer’s approach to building a program.”

Morgan played at Michigan from 1999-2003 and was a 3-year letter-winner on the Wolverines’ offensive line. His career in college football also includes stints at Michigan, Fresno State and UCLA.
