After losing two linebackers in free agency in the past week, the Philadelphia Eagles are bringing aboard linebacker Nicholas Morrow in the same way, the NFL team announced on Tuesday.

Morrow and the Eagles have reached agreement on what’s being reported as a one-year contract as the Huntsville High School alumnus moves from the Chicago Bears to Philadelphia.

When the Eagles won the NFC championship in the 2022 season, T.J. Edwards led the team with 159 tackles and Kyzir White ranked second with 110. Both linebackers have left in free agency, with Edwards joining the Bears and White signing with the Arizona Cardinals.

In his only season with Chicago, Morrow played every Bears’ defensive snap and led the team with 116 tackles. Morrow also had 11 tackles for loss and one interception in 2022.

It was comeback season for Morrow, who was supposed to play his fifth season with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2021, but he missed the entire campaign after having surgery for an ankle injury sustained in training camp.

Morrow is the only alumnus of NCAA Division III Greenville University to play in the NFL. He began his pro career as an undrafted rookie in 2017 with the Oakland Raiders.

In his first four NFL seasons, Morrow played in 62 games, with 29 starts. He had 254 tackles, 20 tackles for loss, four sacks, two interceptions, 20 passes defended, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery while on the field for 2,419 defensive snaps and 782 special-teams plays.

Las Vegas moved to keep Morrow in the 2020 offseason, using a second-round tender on him when he was a restricted free agent, which kept him with the team for $3.259 million.

Morrow had been scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in 2021, but he signed a one-year, $4.5 million contract extension to remain with the Raiders.

Morrow joined the Bears last offseason for a one-year, $3 million contract.

At Huntsville, Morrow played mostly in the offensive line until moving to outside linebacker as a senior in 2012. That season, the Panthers went 7-5 and won a first-round game in the AHSAA Class 6A playoffs against Florence 37-19, with offensive tackle Grant Hill representing Huntsville on the All-State first team.

With no scholarship offers, Morrow went to Greenville to study biology and play football. At Greenville, Morrow had 222 tackles, 38 tackles for loss, four fumble recoveries and three interceptions in 34 games.

As a second-team selection on the American Football Coaches Association’s NCAA Division III All-American team, he became Greenville’s first All-American in 2016, when he was the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year as a hybrid safety/linebacker.

Morrow did more than play defense at Greenville. He had 26 yards and two touchdowns on four rushing attempts, caught a 19-yard pass and returned 11 kickoffs. As a senior against Minnesota-Morris, Morrow ran for a TD as a wildcat quarterback, made his only career reception, intercepted a pass and recovered a fumble.
