PITTSBURGH -- Former Pitt Panthers defensive end John Morgan went down with a scary injury during Arkansas' game against Texas A&M at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas this weekend. 

Morgan, who transferred from Pitt to Arkansas last winter, collapsed on the field following a play late in the fourth quarter. He was tended to by an emergency medical team before being carted off the field and taken to a local hospital. He was talking, conscious and alert according to a report from the television broadcast. 

Morgan, playing his seventh season of college football, recorded four tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble in four games as a Razorback. 

After amassing 73 total tackles, 23 for loss, 14 sacks, two passes defended and three forced fumbles over 46 games as an essential part of Pitt's consistently outstanding defensive lines, he was one of the most sought-after defensive linemen in the portal. Morgan entered the transfer portal prior to the Sun Bowl and committed to Arkansas over the likes of Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Indiana, Colorado, Appalachian State, Memphis, Buffalo and Akron in late December
