16564Willie Morris was one of the most dominant offensive lineman in Wagner history, which speaks volumes given the Seahawks' tremendously-rich history along the O-line. Physically imposing at 6-5, 275 pounds, Morris was a productive, reliable and durable performer throughout a career which spanned from 1985-1988. The ultra-athletic Melrose, NY native played an integral role as a junior in helping lead the Seahawks to the 1987 Division III National Championship. The four teams that Morris helped anchor along the offensive line combined for a sparkling 39-7 (.848) winning percentage as none of those teams lost more than two games in a season. Wagner compiled records of 9-2 in each of his first two seasons on Grymes Hill in 1985 and 1986. In each of those seasons, the Seahawks captured the ECAC Championship. The 1987 team streaked to a 13-1 record, highlighted by the Division III National Title. As a co-captain in his senior year of 1988, Morris helped lead the Green & White to an 8-2 mark and an appearance in the NCAA Division III Quarterfinals. His stellar season earned him Pizza Hut First-Team All-American honors, in addition to being named Football News Third-Team All-American.
