Casey Trasacco said, “I want to play competitive football and be competitive with the good teams and take care of business. As long as we are playing sound football, being competitive, working hard, and playing hard, I will be very happy.”
Trascco has high hopes for the Morgan program. “My goal is to grow our program,” said Trascco, “and if kids want to play college sports then I want to help guide the kids into college athletics. I want to give these kids the best possible path I can do so.”
Although the Morgan football program currently only has a varsity and JV team, Eventually Trascco hopes to build the program so it can get all three levels: freshman team, junior- varsity, team,
and varsity.
Casey Trasacco wants us to grow up and be the best versions of ourselves we can be. He believes he can change this program and bring a culture to this school that will last forever.
