MSU Assistant Coach/Recruiting Coordinator Graham Sikes on Morrow: “Andrew is a great get for us. He has worked extremely hard to get where he is. The exciting part for me is that he has had a lot of success this year and is still hungry to get better. Andrew is a hard worker and his coaches at Fort Scott, John Hill and Jared Walters, raved about his work ethic. This spring he put up huge numbers and shared the conference player of the year award after hitting .424 with 17 home runs, 73 RBI and 71 runs scored. He’s a versatile player that can play first base or outfield, and he has even done some catching. Andrew has shown the tools to be a dynamic player, and I look forward to getting him on campus and working with him this fall.”
