Counting down the ACC top 30 players: No. 7 - ACC - ESPN

Just imagine if Morgan would have gone to UGA like his brother? GT would probably not have beaten UGA in 2008. Also, I do not think Morgan would do as well in the UGA defense currently. Dave Womack really relies on his corners to play man and his safety or safeties to read each play. This allows playmakers like Morgan to do his thing.

Counting down the ACC top 30 players: No. 7 - ACC - ESPN:
"No 7. Morgan Burnett, S, Georgia Tech, Jr., 6-1, 198

Burnett
Why he's here: He has excellent speed, vision, and no active player in the ACC has more career interceptions than Burnett. He was tied for third nationally last year with seven interceptions and he has 10 in his career. He had more interceptions last season than the entire team had the previous year (five) and more single-season INTs than any Yellow Jacket since 1991 when Willie Clay had nine.
As the last line of defense, Burnett had 24 more tackles than anyone else on the team. He finished 2008 with seven tackles for loss, eight pass break-ups and one forced fumble. He led the Jackets in tackles (93) and solo tackles (62).
