Early life

Born in St. Simons Island, Georgia to Vickie and Steve Brian, Morgan was raised with her older sister Jennifer. St. Simon's Island had an immense soccer culture and Gautrat played with girls who were four or five years older than she. Because of her small size among the team, she earned the nickname 'Plankton.' Gautrat eventually went on to play with the Ponte Vedra Storm in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, where she played from U-12 to U-19.[5] However, the team played as the Clay County Soccer Club for their U-19-year.[6] While with the Storm, Gautrat won state championships at the U-17 and U-19 levels.

Gautrat tried out for the Olympic Development Program state team in Florida along with all of her teammates from the Ponte Vedra Storm. She did not make the ODP team that first year; however she used that as motivation to train harder. She eventually made the state, regional, and national ODP teams. Regarding her experience playing in ODP, Gautrat stated that is "was what got [her] recognized in the beginning."

Gautrat attended Frederica Academy in St. Simon's Island from 2007 to 2011, where she played soccer all four years and helped the team win four consecutive state titles.[7] In addition to soccer, Gautrat also played varsity basketball as an eighth-grader, freshman, sophomore, and senior.

Gautrat would later help the team win the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Japan; playing all six matches and scoring a goal.[29] Describing Gautrat, head coach Steve Swanson said, "Morgan does everything extremely well, which is rare for any midfielder. She can finish, she makes great runs, she's an excellent passer, she can take players one-on-one and she can head the ball. There are not a lot of things she can't do, but what sets her apart is her brain. She's got an amazing soccer brain for her age and she's still one of the younger players on this team."

On May 2, 2019, Gautrat was named to the 23-player roster that would represent the United States at the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.[98] She was regarded by many as a surprise selection for the tournament, having not been able to be with the team for about 4 months prior to the selection of the final roster. She failed to make an appearance in any of the team's three send off matches that were against South Africa on May 12, New Zealand on May 16, and Mexico on May 26.[99] [100] [101]
