Harding University Athletics

AT HARDING
Billy Morgan is in his 19th season as the "Voice of the Bisons" for the Harding Sports Network. Since taking the microphone in the 2007-2008 academic year, Morgan has become synonymous with Harding Athletics, bringing the excitement of Bison football and men’s and women’s basketball to fans across the globe.

Morgan’s tenure has coincided with the most successful era in Harding football history. He has been behind the mic for historic moments, including the program's first NCAA Division II National Championship in 2023. His emotional call of Braden Jay’s 73-yard touchdown run during the title game victory over Colorado School of Mines remains a defining moment for the Harding faithful.

AWARDS & HONORS
Morgan is highly decorated within the state’s broadcasting community. He has twice received the prestigious Sullivan Award (the "Sully"), presented by KATV’s Steve Sullivan for the best play-by-play call in an Arkansas college football game.

• He earned one of these honors in February 2015 for his electrifying call of Donatella Luckett’s game-winning touchdown against Henderson State.

ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE
In addition to his duties with the Bisons, Morgan currently serves as the sports director and morning show host at KSUG in Heber Springs.

Before arriving in Searcy, Morgan spent eight years (1997-2004) as the voice of the Arkansas State University Indians (now Red Wolves). During his time at the NCAA Division I level, he broadcasted football, men’s and women’s basketball, and baseball.

His extensive resume also includes work with the Creative Sports Network in Conway, KHPQ in Clinton, and KAWW in Heber Springs. Before joining Harding, he spent three seasons as the play-by-play voice for Heber Springs High School athletics.

Morgan cites the legendary Paul Eells, the longtime Voice of the Razorbacks, as his primary broadcasting inspiration and mentor.

PERSONAL
A native of Prim, Arkansas, Morgan attended both Harding University and Arkansas Tech University. Outside of the broadcast booth, he has worked as a licensed auctioneer and real estate agent.

He and his wife, Dusty, have been married for over 30 years and have two sons: Brooks (a 2018 Harding graduate) and Brett Ty.
