In a statement, Lady Lib commented on Morgan’s signing with the Tiger-Cats, saying, “Lady Lib Sports is proud to announce that Jacobian Morgan, a standout from Jackson State University, has signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the CFL. This opportunity reflects both his talent and his readiness to compete at the professional level. Signing internationally represents a meaningful step forward, and Jacobian has earned this moment through his discipline, consistency, and performance. We look forward to supporting him as he continues to build his professional career and make his impact in the league.”
Morgan finished his career at Jackson State as one of the most decorated quarterbacks in program history. He joined the team after a stint at Syracuse University from 2020 to 2022. He finished his career throwing for 4,080 yards, 40 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions, while also accumulating 668 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns in 26 games played. Morgan’s talent helped the Tigers win the 2024 SWAC championship over Southern University and, ultimately, the Cricket Celebration Bowl over South Carolina State.
In an interview with HBCU Pulse Radio in March, Morgan emphasized that he was recovering well after suffering an injury in the Las Vegas HBCU Classic in October and is ready to bring a winning tenacity to the football field.
“I am healthy, guys. I am ready to play. I have been working my butt off…I understand how to win…I was 17 and 0 in every game I started and finished. I won. So being able to lead the guys to a win, being able to take practice serious, being able to go to treatment every day, do the small things and stay humble throughout the whole week of practice so that the games feel natural.

He added, “…You got a guy that loves football, that grew up playing football his whole life…My biggest thing [is] that I’m just not a quitter…I love to grind, I love to bounce back because I know it’s something bright on the other side. And you gotta really embrace the grind to be where you want to be and chase your dream…I let the stats speak for itself…I’m a humble guy, grounded, but I do know what you gonna get outta me as a dog and somebody who gonna fight his butt off every day to feed his family.”
