Beaulieu-Morgan to play collegiate football

Menominee Indian High School athlete Devin Beaulieu-Morgan took the next step in his athletic career when he signed a letter of intent on May 19 at the high school.

Beaulieu-Morgan signed to the University of Minnesota Morris, where he will play football.

“It was an incredible feeling, really a reminder as to how great God is,” said Beaulieu-Morgan of signing. “It feels like all of the long nights and early mornings are telling me how worth it it is. I’m not done yet and today made me even more hungry for the future. It was such a blessed day to my family and I, and it’s a moment I’ll never forget.”

The Menominee Indian senior said there were ups and downs during his recruitment process, with the uncertainty of where he’d end up playing the biggest role. Beaulieu-Morgan said things picked up as a senior, and that he had to “put himself out there.”

“There were a few schools, but after my visit with Morris I knew I’d be there this fall,” he said.

Beaulieu-Morgan said Minnesota Morris felt like home to him, and the fact that a couple of his high school teammates also will be there also was a positive.

Andre Corn signed to Minnesota Morris back on Feb. 25, and Bryce Dixon signed to the school on Feb. 15.

“It’s really going to be a special thing for the three of us. They’re two of the hardest workers I know, and being able to grow with them on and off the field over the years is something I’ve always been grateful for,” said Beaulieu-Morgan.

“Andre and I have been talking about this since middle school. I can only thank God to actually see this come to fruition. To be able to continue that growth with them, and keep that bond at the next level, is truly a huge blessing. I can’t describe it.”

From all his interactions with the team so far, Beaulieu-Morgan expects to play quarterback at Minnesota Morris, just like he did at the high school level.

According to www.wissports.net, Beaulieu-Morgan threw for 1,772 yards over 16 games between his sophomore and senior seasons.

Most of the yards came during the 2020 alternate season and 2021 fall season. As a senior, he competed just under 65% of his passes for 1,244 yards and six touchdowns.

Beaulieu-Morgan said playing quarterback at the college level is a “dream come true.”

“I understand it’s college and things change, but I plan on doing big things for them at that spot and it’s the spot I love playing,” he added.

He said he strives to be the best at whatever he does in life, and will do the same as he attempts to guide the Minnesota Morris football team.

“The No. 1 goal is winning that championship with my team,” Beaulieu-Morgan said.

The senior couldn’t pinpoint a single favorite memory from his time on the Menominee Indian football team, instead saying he enjoyed every moment he got to spend with the team.

“Just being with my guys, man, that’s all I can say,” said Beaulieu-Morgan. “The bus rides, the jokes, the hardships, just bonding and growing up together. Putting your blood, sweat, and tears out there with a group of people will bring you together. I’m so grateful for them, becoming my best friends and brothers for life.”
