Name: Jordan Morant
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 207 lbs.
High school: Oradell (NJ) Bergen Catholic

Last year: I ranked Morant #100 and said he would redshirt (LINK). He redshirted.
TTB Rating: 87
Morant suffered a potential career-threatening injury in high school, which caused him to miss not only his senior year of high school, but also spring ball when he enrolled at Michigan in January 2020. That setback probably cost him his freshman year of college, too, meaning he lost time while classmates or slightly older guys were able to gain an edge.
Morant is well built and was a standout recruit. Another one brought in to player Viper, he will have to find a role at safety. If he or any other safeties can build the staff's confidence, that may allow another safety to be inserted for Daxton Hill, who could potentially play a nickel role and cover more one-on-one. Morant is more physically ready to play than some of the other young safeties (Morant is almost the exact size as Baltimore Ravens starting strong safety Chuck Clark, who is 6'0" and 208), but he hasn't played much competitive football over the past two years. So what he does this year is a complete mystery.
Prediction: Backup safety, special teamer
