His leadership extends beyond the field as he proudly holds the position of Athletic Director at Westwood Middle School in Danville, a role that allows him to influence and support young athletes at multiple stages of their development.
Morris attributes his success and growth to his faith, stating, “I thank God for His loving grace and mercy towards me. I am forever grateful for the doors that have opened and are continuing to open.” This deep sense of gratitude and purpose is reflected in his coaching style, which prioritizes not just athletic excellence but also personal development, character building, and leadership.
