Marcus Morgan was a four-sport athlete at Iowa City West High School. He could have played Division I in basketball, football or baseball.

Iowa’s Marcus Morgan demonstrated his command and posted his third straight quality appearance for his second win in his last three Big Ten series. He pitched six scoreless innings and Iowa beat Nebraska, 8-0, Saturday at Duane Banks Field.
