NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Owens made a notable appearance at Benjamin Russell High School in Alabama on Wednesday to support five-star wide receiver Cederian Morgan during his commitment ceremony. Morgan, a highly sought-after recruit with offers from nearly every major college football program, is set to announce his college choice among six finalists: Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Colorado, Auburn, and Florida.
Owens, a proud alumnus of BRHS himself, took time out to encourage the next generation of athletes, contrasting his own less heralded recruitment with that of Morgan, who is presently ranked as the No. 12 overall player and the No. 2 wide receiver in the nation for the 2026 class, according to 247Sports Composite rankings. Morgan is also recognized as the top player from Alabama.
This commitment ceremony is not only a milestone for Morgan but symbolizes the ongoing connection and legacy of BRHS in producing talented athletes. Morgan is expected to announce his decision at 2 p.m. ET, a moment that could significantly influence the landscape of college football recruiting.
Such events highlight the importance of mentorship in sports, as veterans like Owens provide inspiration and support to young athletes navigating their futures, which is critical for their development both on and off the field.
