SENATOBIA – Former Northwest Ranger and Arkansas State Red Wolf Shawn Morgan will enter his third season playing professional basketball overseas, as he joined Depiro Mtarfa Rabat in Europe.

Morgan was named MVP in his first season for Circulo Sportivo (Uruguay) after averaging 22 ppg, 8 apg and 6 apg and closed out his second season playing for Manzaneros (Mexico) after being named a first team all-league selection.

A Memphis native and 6-foot-6, 215-pound forward, Morgan played his high school ball at Memphis Hillcrest and found his way to Senatobia after redshirting his true freshman season at Detroit.

Morgan averaged 9.5 points and 6.1 rebounds in his only season at Northwest in 2005-06, helping the Rangers to a 29-4 record (12-0 MACJC), NJCAA National Tournament appearance and No. 2 final ranking by the NJCAA. He shot 56 percent from the floor, dished out 77 assists and also blocked 23 shots in playing in all 33 of the team's games that season.

Morgan went on to play his final three seasons at Arkansas State where he averaged 7.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 steals-per-game in 92 career games played. He averaged just under 26 minutes/game and shot 50.4 percent from the floor.
