After a stellar football career at KHS, Morris pointed his compass north to the urban environs of the SMU campus in Dallas. Known for his agility, toughness, and elusive running style, Morris could turn the corner for great gains or slash off tackle in short yardage situations. His football IQ and strong leadership qualities made him a natural leader both on and off the gridiron. Morris’s pliable hands coupled with crisp pass routes made him a receiving threat out of the backfield as well. Whether slashing through a crowded line of scrimmage, breaking a long run on a pitch out, or catching a pass out of the backfield for a huge gain, Morris could be counted upon to execute his technique with dogged dependability, humility, and aplomb.
