4-Star ILB Malik Morris: A Physical, High-IQ Force Committed to Florida
Malik Morris, a 4-star Inside Linebacker from Lakeland, FL (6-1, 225 lbs), is a game-changing prospect who committed to Florida over Alabama, Georgia, and Miami. In the 2024 season, he recorded 95 tackles, 9 sacks, and 3 force fumbles while helping Lakeland win back-to-back state titles (2022, 2023). Ranked No. 10–12 LB nationally by ESPN and 247Sports, Morris is a powerful blend of force and instinct with elite football IQ, playing primarily as a MIKE. His multi-sport background (shot put county champ, basketball) fuels his intensity and physicality. No injury history reported. He’s a perfect fit for Florida’s SEC defense—intense, smart, and ready to dominate from day one.
