The Daily Pennsylvanian sat down with Penn Football’s Micah Morris – who received an honorable mention from All-Ivy last season – to ask 15 questions about his time on the team, interests and future plans. Here’s what the senior defense lineman had to say.
1. Can you introduce yourself?
Micah Morris, Pittsburgh, Pa. Major in urbanism. Senior.
2. What did you enjoy this summer?

3. Favorite football team?
Pittsburgh Steelers.
4. What are your majors/academic interests?
I am very interested in real estate. Like I said, I’m an urban sciences major, so I’m learning a lot about real estate in this major, and that caught my eye and I think I’ll continue with that after school.
5. Do you have any pre-game rituals?
I listen to a lot of R&B music. [The] The locker room tends to get very hyperactive and intense. I like to calm down and slow down with R&B music.

In five years it would be a dream to play in the NFL. Hopefully that can become a reality.

“Movie” by Rio Da Yung OG.
11. Favorite football memory of Penn?
Termite soccer back in the fourth or fifth grade. I’ve got the game-winning touchdown to send us to [the] endgames.

Leave the women alone. Focus on school and football.
