Nashville Storm K/P Garrett Morgan (Central Arkansas), who in 2009 broke every Nashville Storm kicking and punting record in a stellar season that earned Morgan several Minor League All-American honors, has been signed to a contract to kick for the pro arena football team right in Garrett’s hometown; the Arkansas Twisters, the longtime Little Rock (AR) Arena Football 2 team that will be playing this season in the new Indoor Football League. Morgan will be one of two kickers invited to training camp by the Twisters in March.
This will be Morgan’s 2nd stop as a kicker in arena football, as he kicked for the River City Rage of the UIF indoor league in the spring of 2008. Morgan was the K/P of the NAFL’s Arkansas Rhinos from 2006-2008 before joining the Nashville Storm in 2009.
In 2009, Morgan set the Nashville Storm record for most FGs in a season (12, in 17 attempts) and punting average (41.1 yards per punt) while winning All-American honors from National Football Events and Semiprobcs.com .
