Zeek 16,957 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Expected to announce his decision tonight. Obviously his 7 sacks in 2020 are appealing. I think this is a depth target. He'll have two more years with his COVID season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aubiefifty 18,302 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Memphis transfer Morris Joseph commits to Auburn ByKeith Niebuhr 12 hours ago 13 Morris Joseph, a defensive line transfer from Memphis, committed to Auburn on Wednesday night. He officially visited the Tigers a few days ago. “I loved my visit,” Joseph told Inside the Auburn Tigers' Mark Murphy after his visit. “I had a great time. We really just hung out with the coaches and staff. We went around the town so I got to see all of Auburn and a lot of great food spots.” In 2021, Joseph played in 10 games at Memphis with nine starts. He finished the year with 38 tackles and 1.5 sacks. Per Murphy, he "has 117 tackles as a college player with a season high in 2020 when he made 52 with seven quarterback sacks. Prior to playing at Memphis he was at Iowa Western Community College and the University of Texas–San Antonio." Joseph has one season of eligibility remaining. He is listed at 6-foot-2 and 275 pounds. Joseph is originally from Orange, Texas. He entered the portal on February 28 and committed to Georgia Tech on March 24. But that obviously didn't work out.

W.E.D 11,071 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I'll be interesting to see how it shakes out. We needed a body, I'm not sure he's much more than depth/down the roster rotational player. SDE Wooden / M'Ba or Morris Joseph or Okoli DT Harris/Walker NT Jones/Burks Edge Hall/Leota/Hall I'm sure we'll have combinations with guys on the field at the same time. He might be able to slide inside to DT to rush the passer? Believe he has two years so if he turns out capable, he could be inline for more playing time in '23 with Wooden gone.

AuburnNTexas 7,334 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Seems like a solid depth piece that we can utilize. War Eagle and welcome to Auburn. Our D is solid this year what we lack is depth in a few places some of our recent commits have addressed some of that. A couple more players on D and I will feel really good about Defense as a whole. I don't expect to get much help from Portal for this years O-line so best we can do it improve defensive depth and maybe find another WR on O. Next years Class will have to address O-Line from HS for Future and JUCO and Portal for 2023 both for starters and depth. Really need to develop the Current young O-Line guys for next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong . He was at UTSA in 2017 before going to juco in 2018. If he has another year left thats a lot of time at the collegiate level.

autan 811 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I think we have several 6th year players on the fall roster and one 7th year OL. We're in a new era. Almost seems like they can play until they decide to move on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rednilla 5,449 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Pretty sure this will be his last season of eligibility. He's already played 4 seasons, so he'll be a super-senior for us this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auol72 188 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 remember you can get six years because the covid year did not count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURex 2,262 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 So. this is his 4th stop. UTSA, then Iowa Western CC, then Memphis, then committed to GT, then decommitted from GT and committed to Auburn the same day. Does his year at CC count towards remaining eligibility? UTSA - 1 year CC -- 1 year Memphis -- 3 years That's 5 years of playing time. ON3, 247Sports and other publications are saying he has only one year of eligibility remaining.
