OTTAWA, Kan. - Ottawa University’s men’s basketball program has announced the signing of Mark Morgan for the upcoming 2010-2011 school year. He is from White City, Kan. and is a transfer from Butler County Community College. Morgan will have two years of eligibility left at OU. He attended White City High School.
Morgan, a 6’2” guard, earned two letters in basketball for the Grizzlies. He helped BCCC to the 2010 Jayhawk West Conference title, a 2010 Region IV Championship and a 2010 NJCAA National Tournament appearance. In the two years he was at Butler County he helped the Grizzlies to a 59-13 record and a 2009 Jayhawk West Conference runner-up finish. He averaged 3.4 points and 2.4 rebound per game her sophomore season.
At White City High School he was an all-league selection and a three-time all-area selection in both football and basketball.

“Mark Morgan is a winner. He is strong, tough, smart and makes everyone around him better,” said OU head coach Andy Carrier. “He does many things that win games that do not always show up in the statistics. He does shoot the three well too, but it is all of the others things that make him special. We are thrilled to have him join us.”
Morgan is the son of Steve and Nancy Morgan and plans to major in business administration.
