DURHAM, N.C. – Redshirt junior linebacker Nick Morris Jr. was one of 32 members to be selected to the fourth annual Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete Program, as announced by the organization Wednesday afternoon.
The program recognizes some of the brightest minds competing on the gridiron in the Atlantic Coast Conference and the American Athletic Conference.
Morris holds a 3.93 grade-point average and was named an All-ACC Academic and College Sports Communicators (CSC) AcaÂdemic All-District honoree in 2023. The Fairfield, Conn., native is also a chapter member of the Scholars of Finance and recently completed a client team internship with a Manhattan-based financial technology credit trading company. On the field, Morris has seen action in 20 career games, recording 75 total tackles, three tackles for loss, one sack and one fumble recovery.
"The Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete Program honors an amazing group of young men who truly showcase what it means to be a student-athlete," said Military Bowl Foundation President & Executive Director Steve Beck. "We are thrilled to honor this group of talented players for their success on and off the field while continually challenging themselves in the classroom."

These players are studying STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) subjects and aspire to pursue STEM careers.

Kickoff is set for 5:45 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on ESPN. A donation will also be made in the name of these two players to their respective school's general scholarship fund.
