“Well, first off, he is a hard worker and loves football,” Oakland High School Head Coach Kevin Creasy told Volquest. “He loves practicing football. He loves competition and because of that, he’s really good at running back, but he’s also a good receiver. Then the things he does when he doesn’t have the ball in his hands make him really special. He’s one of the most physical guys on our team, and he has even been known to jump in and play some defense and special teams for us. He is one of those guys that is real patient but when he finds an opportunity, he bursts through and makes a play. He will turn a negative yardage play into a positive play, but a lot of times he will turn a five yard gain into a fifty yard gain.”

As far as in the locker room, Morris holds the respect of his teammates, according to Creasy.

“He is a fun guy to be around,” the head coach said. “He’s a delight. He gets along with everyone in the locker room and is definitely a guy that people on our team like blocking for.”

What does this mean for Tennessee’s Running Back Room?​

Tennessee has hoped to add a second back to this class for sometime to go along with long-time pledge Justin Baker. Morris has been the prime target for some time, and he is a key win for the Vols. He is a three-down back with big play ability as a pass-catcher as well. Morris adds another element to an already young and dynamic running back room for years to come at Tennessee.

I'm thinking he plays a lot next year if he can pass pro.
