Kendall Morrison is the next Mississippi name recruiters need to know. A long, fast, multi-tool athlete out of Pearl River Central High School, Morrison is building a reputation as one of the top dual-sport athletes in the 2027 class, impacting games on Friday nights and dominating on the baseball diamond in the spring.
Football Production (WR | Class of 2027)
Morrison’s breakout junior season put him squarely on the radar as a vertical threat who can flip a game in a hurry.
2025 Varsity Football Stats
- Receptions: 41
- Receiving Yards: 740
- Yards per Catch: 19.6
- Receiving TDs: 6
- Total TDs: 8
At ~6’2”, ~190 lbs, Morrison pairs length with legit speed, consistently stretching coverage, winning 50/50 balls, and turning routine throws into explosive gains. His tape shows clean releases, easy acceleration, and natural tracking traits that translate immediately at the next level.
Baseball: Proven Winner, Elite Performer
As good as Morrison is on the gridiron, he’s been dominant on the baseball diamond throughout his high-school career, producing across multiple seasons as a varsity contributor.
HS Baseball (Career to Date)
- 60 time: 6.4
- 9th grade BA – .300
- 10th grade BA -.311
- Multi-year varsity starter
- High on-base presence with consistent extra-base power
- Speed impact on the bases and rangy defense in the outfield
That production has earned him a commitment to PRCC Wildcats, coached by Michael Avalon. The Wildcats enter the upcoming season ranked #1 in JUCO baseball nationally, placing Morrison in a championship-level environment that develops pro-caliber talent.
Quote from Buddy Turnage, Head Coach of Pearl River Central Baseball: “Kendall runs in the outfield with reckless abandonment. There’s not one ball that’s hit that I don’t think he could catch. His 6.4 60-yard dash truly shows up in the outfield. He has worked extremely hard on his throwing motion and accuracy. He’s up to 90+ from the outfield. At the plate, his hands are extremely fast. It’s hard for any pitch to get by him. He’s working on staying through the middle which will take his game to the next level. I have coached three players who got drafted and Kendall has better measurables.”
The Ceiling Argument: Why Football Might Be Next
Here’s the recruiting debate: baseball floor, football ceiling.
- Frame: 6’2” with room to add strength without sacrificing speed
- Speed: True field-tilter—threatens coverage immediately
- Ball Skills: Baseball background shows up in tracking, timing, and hands
- Position Value: Long, fast WRs are premium assets for D1 programs
While his baseball résumé is already elite, Morrison’s physical profile and growth curve in football suggest a ceiling that could be even higher. With continued refinement in route nuance and strength development, he projects as the kind of outside receiver D1 staffs covet a mismatch creator who stresses defenses vertically and in the red zone.
Bottom Line
Kendall Morrison isn’t just a dual-sport standout he’s a bet on athletic upside. He’s proven, productive, and wired to compete at a high level. As the 2027 cycle heats up, expect his name to rise quickly in football rooms across the region, even as he prepares to contribute to a national-title contender on the baseball side for PRCC.
