Morris Earns All-State Honors

12/21/06 4:00PM

WILLIAMSBURG - Senior center Cody Morris (Jeansville, PA) was named to the University Division’s First Team All-Virginia honors as voted by Virginia Sports Information Directors (VaSID) and released this afternoon.

The honor marks Morris’ first recognition by VaSID and comes on the heels of his being named to his third career all-conference designation by the Atlantic 10 Football Conference. Morris has been a four-year starter for the College along the offensive front. After seeing action at guard for the first three years of his career, he moved down to center for his senior season. Despite the position change, Morris remained the team’s top lineman, in terms of production and consistency. Morris is the first Tribe offensive lineman to earn all-conference honors in three consecutive years since former Tribe All-American guard Josh Beyer was tabbed from 1994 through the 1996 seasons.

William and Mary has not had an offensive lineman earn first team all-state honors since the 2002 season, when then senior tackle Dwight Beard was recognized.

The University Division includes all Virginia school’s that sponsor Division I football.
