• The Meyer Morton Award Trophy – Michigan

    Meyer Morton Reader David is the son of former Michigan player Don Dugger who won the annual Meyer Morton award in 1954 under coach Oosterbaan.  The award has been given out since 1925 to “the football player who shows the greatest development and most promise as a result of the annual spring practice.”  They used to issue an actual trophy and yes, David owns it today and sent over a photo: Sweet.  Although I can’t spot the confirmation on mgoblue.com, I believe FB John McColgan was the recipient this spring.  I discussed the MM in more detail here and I shared this photo of the 1932 winner–future President Gerald Ford, holding the trophy: Very cool.
