Alfred Morris

Induction:
2019

Alfred Morris came to FAU as a fullback and believed he would have a place in the pro-style offense. He not only had a place in the system, but he would move to the primary back and became the system. Morris set records for single-game carries at 30, and then 38, in 2010 and 2011, respectively. He tallied four rushing touchdowns in a game twice and was credited with scoring 24 points in a 2011 game. He was just the second back in program history to surpass 1,000 yards and accomplished that twice in his career (1,392 in 2009 and 1,186 in 2011, while also recording 928 yards in 2010). He was the first back to break the single-season double-digit touchdown mark, doing so in 2009, a season he averaged over 100 yards a game, as the first FAU back to accomplish that. Morris became the second back to surpass 3,000 career rushing yards and did so in 733 attempts while adding 27 career scores. He concluded his college career by being selected by the Washington Redskins in the 2012 NFL Draft, while also suiting up since for the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers.
