She will become the third member of the Morgan family to play basketball at UNI. Jeremy was on the men's team, and Mikaela will be a junior on the women's team this winter.

Cailyn averaged 6.1 points per game last season as West went 21-4 and reached the Class 5A state semifinals. She is the third player on the current West roster to commit to a Division-I program. Senior Rachael Saunders picked Creighton; senior Logan Cook selected Iowa.
