Expert Analysis
Sam Erman | Prep Redzone Scout
A shifty and hard to bring down back with the speed to burst the long one at any given moment. He was as fun to watch as anyone this season. He broke out as a senior in arguably the biggest way you can imagine. He rushed for over 2000 yards and averaged 9 yards per carry. He had 21 TDs on the ground and a 99-yard TD in week 2 when he rushed for over 300 yards.

Morris was a breakout player this year for East Chicago and arguably looked as good as any back in the state. He’s got good vision and elite acceleration. He’s got quick feet, which get him out of sticky situations near the line. He’s averaging just under 10 ypc on the season while having a big workload. He even broke a 99-yard touchdown earlier in the season. He played in 8 games where he carried the ball 192 times for 1801 yards and 21 TDs.
