This week’s segment of Meet the Rams will highlight the other half of our Australian duo, Jason Morriss as well as newcomer Zak Leonhardt.
Welcome Back to Campus
After a spectacular season last year, Morriss returns this year for his senior season with the Rams. Morriss looks to command the infield again and improve upon his already remarkable season a year ago. Having started all 65 of the Rams games last year, Morriss has proven himself to be a consistent player with the ability to make the spectacular plays. Morriss was also a major contributor to the very potent Ram offense last season, batting .317 and leading the team in runs scored.
Though not as outspoken as his Australian counterpart, Jason leads more by example. Hours before games, before and after practice or on weekends in the fall, Morriss can be found getting extra reps at the field. His hard work paid off last season as he was named to the Lone Star Conference’s second team at second base.
A few things according to Jason Morriss:
Hometown: Brisbane, Australia
Major: Kinesiology
Favorite Place you’ve been in Texas: Dallas
Person Who Most Inspires You: My Father
Favorite Food: Chicken
Favorite Movie: Crocodile Dundee
Favorite Quote: “Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn’t work hard.”
Name a major difference between Texas and Australia:
I grew up on a beach and I am now living in the country. The whole country lifestyle here is still a little weird to me. I can’t get my head around the boots, belt buckles and cowboy hats.
Name three places you mot want to visit: Bora Bora, Boston, Miami
