Join Jen and her guest, former NFL football player, Morlon Greenwood. Morlon shares with us what his Foundation is all about and his plans to have a youth facility built! Get to know Morlon Greenwood Morlon Greenwood, who hails from Kingston, Jamaica, found his passion for soccer at a young age. After moving to the United States at 11 years old, Greenwood continued to participate in soccer until being introduced to wrestling by assistant wrestling coach Russ Cellan during his sophomore year. After being discovered for his wrestling talent, he took 4th place in the Nassau County Wrestling Tournament and was then encouraged by Russ Cellan, also the head football coach, to give football a shot during his junior year. His athleticism and his expeditious learning skills earned him a scholarship to Syracuse University after his first year. Greenwood continued to compete in wrestling and won the freestyle state championship, the Empire State Games freestyle championship twice and Greco Roman state championship once. During his senior year he won the scholastic state wrestling championship at 215 lbs and became his coach's first ever state champion in 29 years at Freeport High School as well as competing in track & field.       After a successful college career at Syracuse University, Greenwood was drafted in 2001 as a third-round pick for the Miami Dolphins as a linebacker. His NFL career spanned eight years as a starter and two teams, the Miami Dolphins and the Houston Texans. During his time as a free agent, Greenwood had a chance to expand on his career as a recording artist under the moniker “Ultimate,” with multiple songs reaching the rhythmic music charts and collaborations with artists such as Pitbull and Flo Rida. He also began training in other sports, such as boxing, where he turned professional for a brief period with a record of 3-0 and 3KOs. A year after becoming a free agent, Morlon signed with the Omaha Nighthawks, where he started for three years. After his football career, his endeavors have included furthering his music career and developing an acting career, as well as involvement in the non-profit sector.      During the time in his professional career, he also became involved in community needs with underprivileged youth by instilling keys to success and teaching marketable skills on and off the football field. With this passion, the Morlon Greenwood Foundation was created. The mission of the Foundation is to “Raise-Up youth to become successful socially responsible citizens through mentorship imparted to encourage the realization of their full potential while respecting diversity within the community.” This non-profit organization has utilized a network of nationwide organizations and a connection to local communities, where 3500 youth have been helped achieve their goals since 2016 for free. Morlon is also the President of the NFL Alumni Las Vegas Chapter, whose mission is “Caring For Kids and "Caring For Our Own”. Currently Mr. Greenwood is working on putting the MG52 Olympic Complex in place to provide mentorship through sports and the wrap-around services for the youth year-round. MG52 Complex will remain consistently focused on accomplishing its mission of inspiring today's youth towards reaching their full potential.
