Micah Thurman Morris (born August 25, 2003)[1] is an American college football offensive lineman for the Georgia Bulldogs.

Early life

Micah Morris was born on August 25, 2003.[1] He attended Camden County High School in his hometown of Kingsland, Georgia, where he played football.[2] Morris began starting as an offensive lineman for Camden County as a freshman, and maintained that position for the entirety of his high school career.[3] Following his junior year, Morris was named a consensus first-team all-state selection.[4] Because of this, Morris was named to the 2020 iteration of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's "Super 11", an annual list of the top eleven high school seniors for football in the state of Georgia.[4] Following Morris' senior season, he was invited to play in the All-American Bowl.[5] Morris also excelled academically in high school, with him having a 5.025 GPA after factoring in advanced placement and dual enrollment classes.[6]

Recruiting

Morris initially quietly committed to the University of Georgia in August of 2019.[7] He had built up a strong relationship with Sam Pittman, Georgia's offensive line coach at the time.[8] However, after Pittman departed to become the head coach at Arkansas, Morris opened up his recruiting to other schools.[6] Morris then established a good relationship with the new offensive line coach at Georgia, Matt Luke,[6] and declared his public commitment to Georgia in April of 2020 over schools such as Alabama and Clemson.[9]

College career

Morris enrolled early at Georgia in 2021 and redshirted his freshman year, only playing in two games.[10] In 2022, Morris continued to play as a reserve offensive lineman.[10] Morris began to see more playing time in 2023, with him acting as a sixth man for Georgia's offensive line, being substituted in occasionally for another starter at either guard or tackle.[11] In 2024, Morris made his first start against Alabama.[12] Morris started five games that season, before a leg injury against Florida hindered his ability to play.[13] Morris returned to Georgia in 2025 as one of two players remaining from 2021 and as a starter.[14] During the season, Morris sustained a leg injury against Alabama that temporarily took him out of the game[15] and a shoulder injury the following week against Kentucky.[16] Nevertheless, Morris was awarded a selection to the All-SEC second-team by the Associated Press following the regular season.[17]
