Rice’s steady trench plug: Elroyal Morris III brings veteran size and disruptive flashes
In the 2025 season, Elroyal Morris III is a senior defensive lineman at Rice listed at 6-foot-3, 292 pounds, with a career line that includes 22 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and a forced fumble across his Rice seasons. His value is less about gaudy numbers and more about being a sturdy, battle-tested interior body who has flashed real disruption in limited snaps, including a sack, tackles for loss, and a takeaway in prior seasons. He looks like a fit for teams wanting size, experience, and rotational toughness in the middle of the defensive front.
