As Wall’s starting middle linebacker each of the past two seasons, senior Drew Morrison has been the quarterback of the Hawk defense for a while now. Last year, when starter Mason Fuchs went down with an injury late in district play, he had to quarterback the offense as well.

Now well established in both roles, the 6-foot-3, 200-pound playmaker is set to enter his first season as his team’s leader on both sides of the ball. And while that may sound like quite a challenge, it’s one both he and his coach feel he’s ready for.
