BREAKING: Georgia Bulldogs Make Major Move, Sign 4-Star Wide Receiver from Dallas Cowboys Practice Squad to Supercharge Offense Ahead of 2025 Season
Athens, GA – June 25, 2025
In a bold and unprecedented move that’s sending ripples through the college football landscape, the Georgia Bulldogs have officially signed 4-star wide receiver Jaylen “Jet” Morgan, a standout talent who spent the past season on the Dallas Cowboys’ practice squad. The 22-year-old Texas native, originally a high school phenom out of DeSoto, is making his return to college football through a rare eligibility loophole, and he’s bringing elite pro-level speed, skill, and swagger to Athens.
Morgan’s journey is anything but conventional. After initially committing to Oklahoma in 2021, he declared for the NFL Draft following his sophomore season but went undrafted. He later signed with the Cowboys, where he impressed scouts with his blistering 4.31 40-yard dash and explosive vertical leap during practice reps. Despite turning heads in Dallas, Morgan saw limited preseason action and was eventually waived, then re-signed to the Cowboys’ developmental squad.
Now, thanks to an NCAA provision that allows players who never appeared in a regular-season NFL game and have remaining college eligibility to return to school, Morgan is taking his talents back to the collegiate stage—this time in the SEC, and with one mission: win a national title.
“This is the perfect second chance,” Morgan said in a press release. “Georgia’s system is elite. The coaching staff, the facilities, the culture—they check every box. I’ve had a taste of the NFL, but now I’m hungry for rings, records, and redemption.”
Georgia head coach [fictional] Carson Dupree, now in his second year leading the program following Kirby Smart’s departure, called the signing “a defining moment in the evolution of Georgia football.”
“Jaylen brings professional polish, SEC-ready toughness, and a big-play mentality that you can’t teach. He’s not just a spark—he’s a firecracker, and he’s going to ignite this offense,” Dupree said.
At 6’1″, 195 lbs, Morgan brings an elite combination of speed, route-running finesse, and soft hands. He’s expected to start immediately as the Bulldogs look to retool their passing attack following the departure of two top receivers to the NFL. Pairing Morgan with sophomore quarterback Carson Holt and returning tight end Oscar Delp gives Georgia a frightening trio for opposing defenses.
Offensive coordinator Marcus Shields is already drawing up new schemes tailored to Morgan’s deep-threat capabilities. “We’re going vertical. Jet Morgan doesn’t just stretch the field—he bends it. His speed changes the way defenses line up.”
The signing also sends a powerful message to top recruits and transfers nationwide: Georgia is not just adapting to the new era of NIL and eligibility flexibility—they’re mastering it. With Morgan’s arrival, the Bulldogs continue to prove they can recruit, reload, and redefine what’s possible in college football.
Jaylen Morgan will officially enroll in summer classes next week and is expected to debut in the Bulldogs’ nationally televised season opener against Clemson. If his past is any indicator, the SEC is about to meet its newest star—and Georgia’s title hunt just got a serious boost.
