Nicholas Morrow

Commencement Keynote Speaker

Nicholas Morrow
Greenville University Alumni and NFL Linebacker

 

Morrow was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and grew up in Huntsville, Alabama. He attended GU from 2013-2016, where he majored in biology and was on the Dean’s list, while playing football for the Panthers. During his time at Greenville, Morrow developed into an All-American performer and became the first player in school history to reach the NFL.  

In 2017, Morrow signed with the Oakland Raiders as an undrafted free agent. He went on to establish himself as a standout linebacker, spending time with the Raiders' franchise, the Chicago Bears, Philadelphia Eagles, and Buffalo Bills. His journey in the League culminated in a championship ring in the 2024 season when he rejoined the Philadelphia Eagles and was part of the team that won Super Bowl LIX.   

Morrow married his wife Megan in 2023, and has two daughters: Naomi, who is 2, and Isabel, who is 1.   

Greenville University honored Nicholas’ impact by retiring his jersey in 2023, celebrating both his athletic achievements and his exemplary witness as someone who embodies Christ-like character and service.
