Hall of Fame
As a freshman running back, Smith Morris scored 14 touchdowns and was named to the All-Catholic Team. A wrist injury cut short his sophomore season, but Morris returned as a junior to rush for 1,000 yards and 20 touchdowns on his way to being named to the All-WNY team. As a senior, Morris scored 12 touchdowns in a down year for Canisius. The Buffalo News twice selected Morris as its Player of the Week for his football accomplishments. He earned All-Catholic honors three times, and was a finalist for the Connolly Cup–the award recognizing the top high school football player in Western New York. Morris also competed with the Canisius track and field team and captured multiple league championships as part of relay teams.Â
