N.C. State strong safety  DaJuan Morgan, known for his intense play on the field and his celebratory dances after wins, has decided to turn pro, the school confirmed.

Morgan, who wore No. 7 for State, led the Wolfpack in total tackles, with 97.

He also had three intercpetions in addition to his 73 solo tackles.

Morgan, 6 feet 1 and 200 pounds, came to State from Riviera Beach, Fla. He ranked fourth on the team in tackles in 2006 even though he started just one game.

He had a terrific season for State as the Wolfpack started slow and then finished stronger under new coach Tom O'Brien. After wins, he became a favorite of teammates and media with his wild victory celebrations that always drew giggles - and cameras.

Morgan's brother, DeAndre, was a freshman cornerback for State this season.

Morgan is likely to be a mid-round pick.

dajuan was the only player on the whole team that could tackle. and he had great hands. he was the best ncsu safety since adrian wilson in my opinion, a great last line of defense who prolly should've played a lot more a lot sooner in his career.

and for those of you who dont know: this guy almost died in a car accident that lost him his scholarship to Ohio State. That was only a week after his house was blown away by a tornado - not even kidding folks. So if there's one guy i'm rooting for to get some nfl bucks (in addition to that degree that he's 2 classes away from getting), it's dajuan morgan.

ps- jimmie sutton is already gone, he was a senior

He only needs to do a semester of interning to graduate. He will do that in the NFL as he was a sports management major and will graduate. Congrats and good luck!
