Nebraska Football: STANLEY BACK

The stand-out wide receiver announces his return

Who needs sleep? Not you. Loosen your belts folks:

That’s right. PANTS OFF DANCE OFF TIME.

If you’re confused, that tweet is a short and sweet gif version of the following scene from Wolf Of Wall Street.

Stand-out rising senior Stanley Morgan Jr, who was rumored to be considering declaring early for the NFL draft, has decided to give it the ol’ college try and don the Scarlet and Cream one last time.

Morgan is coming off a stellar season where, despite missing two games with an injured shoulder, the New Orleans native delivered an impressive junior season, amassing 986 yards on 61 receptions, with 10 touchdowns to his name.

This is definitely a big win for Scott Frost and Troy Walters convincing the talented receiver to stick around for one more season.
