Overview
- Morrell announced his pledge on Monday, Dec. 15, less than a day after receiving Kansas State's offer.
- At 6-foot-6 and 210 pounds, he is the No. 57 tight end in the 2026 class and the second-best available player in Kansas, per the 247Sports Composite.
- The pickup helps fill a tight end need for the Wildcats, who had no 2026 signee at the position and expect Brayden Loftin and Andrew Metzger to enter the transfer portal.
- He posted 36 receptions for 504 yards and seven touchdowns last season and added 46 carries for 206 yards.
- He told Rivals he had heard from Auburn and Missouri before choosing K-State, whose 2026 class ranks No. 50 nationally with the portal opening Jan. 2 and the next signing period starting Feb. 4.
