Jontae Morris '22 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing football since I was 4 years old. Football has always been a passion of mine. I have been through many struggles in my life and college would provide me and my family with a more successful future. Due to my struggles in life; I am a very hard worker both on the field and in school. My 6th grade year my family lost our house. Throughout 6th -7th grade my siblings and I have been house bouncing or staying with multiple people. Then my mom got a house , and then a few months later we got evicted. So we had to stay with different people during 8th grade- 9th grade school year. I want to become successful, go to college, and provide for my family so we don’t have to struggle anymore. Although we still have struggles like paying the rent late, not enough money  for bills, I am still thankful for the people who helped me and my family, but also for my single-mother for keeping a roof over me and my siblings head. I am determined to succeed.
