Early life

Morse was born in Austin, Texas to Kevin and Catherine Morse. He attended St. Michael's Academy where he played starting offensive lineman and defensive tackle positions with the St. Michael's Warriors. His performance as an offensive lineman during his junior and senior seasons earned Morse first-team all-state honors. During his senior season in 2009 as a defensive tackle, Morse earned first-team all-district honors. Morse was ranked No. 19 offensive tackle in the nation by ESPN.com. He was ranked No. 51 tackle prospect in the nation by Rivals.com. Morse twice won Academic All-State honors. His academic performance gained him offers from Kansas, Texas Christian, Stanford and Vanderbilt.[3]

College career

After sitting out the 2010 season, Morse played as a redshirt freshman in all 13 games with the Missouri Tigers team during the 2011 season. During his first active season, Morse's defensive skills were assigned to part of the placekicking protection team. The 2011 season also saw Morse earn 1st-Team Academic All-Big 12 honors and his first letter.[3]

Morse saw his first starting season in 2012 as the Tigers' center. In this position, he started seven games. However the offensive lineup became plagued with injuries, assigning Morse to the alternate position of right tackle. Morse started in this position for the remaining four games. His place on the reorganized offensive line alongside left guard Max Copeland, left tackle Justin Britt, center Evan Boehm and right guard Connor McGovern, helped the Tigers make consecutive SEC Championship appearances during the 2013 and 2014 seasons.[4]

During the 2012, 2013 and 2014 seasons, Morse made SEC Academic Honor Roll. While at Mizzou, Morse studied Hotel and Restaurant Management.[3]
