BIO: Moved into the starting lineup as a true freshman. Suffered with minor injuries his first two years in the program.

POSITIVES: Big, powerful blocker who engulfs opponents at the point of attack. Quickly gets off the line, jolts defenders and removes them from the action. Solid position blocker who effectively uses angles and seals opponents from the play. Keeps his feet moving throughout the action and works to stay square.

NEGATIVES: Lacks footwork sliding out to protect the edge, not effective in motion and lumbers about the field.

ANALYSIS: A king-sized blocker best on the strong side, Morris has potential as a right tackle in the NFL if he stays healthy and continues to improve his game.

PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
