It is not the National Football League, but the University of Alabama does have its first general manager.

Courtney Morgan joined Kalen DeBoer in coming from Washington to the Crimson Tide.

Morgan, a Los Angeles (Calif.) native, served as GM for the Huskies in two seasons (2022-23) with DeBoer. He officially announced his new position for Alabama football on social media.

Morgan will be the general manager for the Tide, and he's already doing work in recruiting.

Alabama has lost several names to thee NCAA transfer portal and other schools; however, Morgan and DeBoer have an opportunity to snatch names out the portal when it opens back up in April. Morgan has started introducing himself to the Tuscaloosa (Ala.) community and surrounding areas. DeBoer needs to do the same so these high school athletes can know him.

The Tide has a few players visiting this weekend, including five-star wide receiver Ryan Williams.

Hopefully, Morgan and DeBoer can close the deal with guys committing to Alabama.
