Prospects
Morris, coming off a medical redshirt season, enjoyed an impressive spring, and is in competition for substantial playing time at CB. Still relatively new to the sport, Morris reacts quickly to the ball. Could blossom with productive off-season weight program. Likely to become more physical as he gains confidence.
