ROLE MODEL OF THE YEAR AWARD

Alfred Morris

Alfred Morris, Running Back of the Washington Redskins, will receive the “Role Model of the Year” Award at NCoC’s Annual Conference on September 19. The award is designed to recognize individuals who use their public presence to inspire others and give back to their community.

Morris was a sixth round draft pick for the Redskins in 2012. In his rookie year, he rushed for over 1,600 yards of offense and 13 touchdowns, leading the NFC east and breaking the franchise’s single-season rushing record. In the game against the Dallas Cowboys, Morris rushed for over 200 yards and three touchdowns—one of the most impressive single-game performances by any NFL running back during the regular season. His performance earned him a spot on the “Top 100 Players of 2013” list, which is voted on by players. Morris is an alumni of Florida Atlantic University, where he graduated as the school’s all-time leading rusher with 3,529 rushing yards.
