For the second time this year, Carl Morris has added National Player of the Week to his lengthy resume. This time Morris helped his Walter Payton Award chances with a record-breaking performance at Dartmouth.
The 6-foot-3, 205-pound wide out from Sterling, Va., caught a school-record 21 passes to become just the 10th player in NCAA Division I history (I-A and I-AA) to catch that many in a single game. Those receptions went for 257 yards (also a school record) and two touchdowns in a 31-26 victory at Dartmouth. The win was Harvard's 11 straight Ivy League victory.
Morris now has 73 receptions and 1,068 receiving yards on the year, surpassing the single-season marks (71 catches, 943 yards) he set last season. He also leads all of Division I in receiving yards per game (152.57), and ranks second in I-AA receptions per game (10.43).
