Scouting Report (Fall09): Morse first established himself during his sophomore season when he knocked off then nationally ranked senior and soon to be 4x state champ Mark Weber of Goodrich. Since then, all he has done is win. He won an impressive state title his sophomore year downing Senior National All-American and current Old Dominion sophomore Brennan Brumley in a dominant finals match. He then officially sealed his deal as one of the top recruits in the country last fall with an amazing day of wrestling at the Super 32 Championships in North Carolina. In one day Morse knocked off three nationally ranked wrestlers including Junior Freestyle National RunnerUp and 3x Florida State Champ Joe Cozart, Junior National Champ and #1 ranked Dylan Alton of Pennsyvania, and PA State Champ Joey Napoli. The only hicckup in the past few years for Morse was his one point loss to Taylor Massa at last year's Team State Finals, a match that was somewhat controversial and a battle of the state's top middleweights. This summer he further proved himself nationally with an undefeated performance at the Disney Duals. He is well put together with a long, muscular frame and he wrestles well from all positions. The best thing about Morse is that he seems to wrestle better in big matches when the lights are on, which leads me to believe he will not have the Freshman deer in headlights syndrome when he first arrives in Illinois. Morse is ranked as the #XX recruit in the country by InterMat and there is no doubt by most that he will make a huge impact in the Big Ten and the NCAA
