Knights Add Size and Athleticism at CB
The UCF Knights needed more experienced help in the secondary and that's what they just received with Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College cornerback Ja'Maric Morris.
He's physically developed at 6-foot-2 and 205-pounds, so he's capable of playing in the box, blitzing or taking on bigger wide receivers during 50-50 balls thrown down the field.

What's also great about the size of Morris would be position flexibility. He could play to the boundary against an opposing squad's biggest receiver, even take on some tight ends, and still be just fine.
When the Knights want to bring pressure off the corner of the defense, he's also big enough to take on bigger running backs protecting the quarterback's backside and still get home to the signal caller for a sack.
Finally, it's experience. He's played at the junior college level against quality football palyers. Another way to say it, he's accustomed to battling against guys that know what a college weight room looks like, and then go against them.
Really good pickup for Gus Malzahn and his UCF football program. Charge on!
