Boone Morris brings Texas-tough linebacker pedigree and early ACU depth value
Boone Morris is a **physical, high-mileage linebacker** whose appeal starts with production and toughness: at Mount Vernon, he piled up **501 tackles, 95 tackles for loss, and 21 sacks** and earned district defensive MVP honors, while ESPN and Kansas State listed him as a top inside-linebacker recruit in the 2024 class.[6][9] He redshirted in 2024 and saw limited action in 2025, so the film résumé is still small, but the differentiator is clear: he looks like a downhill, contact-first defender with proven instincts and the kind of motor coaches trust in the middle of the defense.[6][4]
