Head Coach M.L Morgan

M.L. Morgan is in his first season as NSU Head Coach. A dedicated leader with an abundance of experience across the collegiate and professional levels,  Morgan has helped several programs and organizations achieve historic success. He has compiled an overall record of 254-117 (.685) as a member of multiple coaching staffs, winning four regular season titles and one conference tournament championship.

Morgan spent four seasons as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Virginia Commonwealth University. During his tenure, VCU won the 2015 Atlantic 10 Tournament and the 2017 regular season conference title.

Morgan helped VCU earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament with a dominant run in the 2015 Atlantic 10 Tournament, defeating Rhode Island in back-to-back games to secure the title. Spanning from the final stretch of the regular season to the postseason, the Rams accumulated 13 consecutive wins.

VCU took down nationally ranked Dallas Baptist and Oregon State in the NCAA Regional, advancing to a Super Regional for the first time in program history. The Rams became just the fifth #4 seed ever to win a regional.

VCU won at least 35 games in every season Morgan spent with the Rams, earning a spot in the national rankings in 2014 and 2015.

Morgan spent four years as an assistant coach at Randolph Macon College, propelling the Yellow Jackets to a tremendous stretch atop their conference. He helped the Yellow Jackets post a 15-1 record in 2020, the best start in program history, before the season was halted due to COVID-19.

That season, Randolph Macon was ranked No. 1 in the Perfect Game poll and No. 2 in the D3baseball.com/NCBWA Top 25.

Randolph Macon topped fourth-seeded Christopher Newport to win its first NCAA Regional title in 2018, advancing to the Division III College World Series for the first time in program history.

Across his entire coaching career, Morgan has mentored and developed two conference Player of the Years and two conference Pitcher of the Years while leading 17 players to sign professional contracts – with four making it to the MLB.

Most recently, Morgan has served as the Mid-Atlantic area scout supervisor for the MLB's Tampa Bay Rays since 2021. In that capacity, he evaluated prospects through both assessing their makeup and physical readiness for professional baseball while building a scouting network through extensive relationships with coaches, players, and parents.

As a player at VCU, Morgan was a part of two conference championships and two NCAA regional appearances.

Morgan earned his Bachelor of Science in Accounting from VCU in 2010, and his Master of Education in Sports Leadership from VCU in 2014.
