Morgan Scalley is in his sixth year as Utah's safeties coach and his fourth as the recruiting coordinator. He has shown the same aptitude for both positions as he did as an All-America safety for the Utes.
Scalley has two Freshman All-Americans to his credit, with Brian Blechen (2010) and Eric Rowe (2011) both making four teams as true freshmen. Scalley had a first-team all-conference safety in 2009 in Robert Johnson, who now plays for the Tennessee Titans.
Scalley's position has earned a reputation for creating turnovers. In his five seasons as their coach, his safeties have accounted for 31 interceptions.
Scalley is also known as a tireless recruiter. In 2010, online recruiting service Rivals.com tabbed Scalley as its top non-BCS recruiter of the year and one of the Top 25 recruiters in the nation overall. In 2011, Rivals.com again recognized Scalley, this time as one of the top recruiters in the Pac-12 and a "recruiting coordinator on the rise."
Rivals.com ranked Utah's 2010 recruiting class as the best by a school from a non-automatic qualifying conference and 32nd overall. Rivals rated Utah's 2012 recruiting class as the country's 25th best while Scout.com gave the Utes a No. 32 ranking.
Before his full-time coaching appointment in 2008, Scalley served a two-year apprenticeship with his alma mater. In 2006, he worked as an administrative assistant while earning his MBA. In 2007, he was out on the field as a graduate assistant helping with the linebackers.

Playing Career
Scalley was the MWC co-Defensive Player of the Year, a unanimous first-team all-conference selection and a second-team A.P. and SI.com All-American as a senior in 2004. A four-year letterman (2001-04), he was a second-team all-MWC defensive back in 2003 and an honorable mention all-MWC punt returner in 2001 and 2002.
As a senior in 2004, he captained a Utah team that went 12-0, won the Fiesta Bowl as the first non-BCS team to play in a BCS bowl game and finished with a No. 4 national ranking.
Scalley was a two-time first-team Academic All-American (2003-04), the 2004 Anson Mount Scholar Athlete of the Year and the 2004 MWC Scholar Athlete of the Year. He was awarded two post-graduate scholarships, including one from the NCAA.
He was presented with the inaugural Pat Tillman award during the 2005 East-West Shrine Game, recognizing him for his character, intelligence, sportsmanship and service.
After graduating Magna Cum Laude from the U. with a 3.96 GPA, Scalley earned a master's degree in business.
