Shane Ryan Morris (born August 4, 1994) is an American football quarterback for the Michigan Wolverines team where he is a junior for the 2015 team. He is a left-handed quarterback known for his strong arm. He was a highly touted 5-star high school prospect until he endured mononucleosis midway through his senior season. He played in the 2013 Under Armour All-America Game. He serves as the backup quarterback for Michigan. He saw limited action as a freshman until starting in the 2013 Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl in place of starter Devin Gardner. At the beginning of the 2015 season after the graduation of Gardner, he lost a quarterback battle against Jake Rudock. ==Early life== Morris' was born to Bruce and Jennifer Morris on August 4, 1994.〔 Morris has two younger siblings, Brent and Gracie 〔 Morris, who quarterbacked the all-boys〔 De La Salle Collegiate High School, led the 2009 freshman team to the Catholic League championship before being called up to finish the season with the varsity team. When the starting quarterback was injured in the fourth quarter of the scoreless district final game against Grosse Pointe South High School, he was put in the game because the backup had a broken thumb. He led the team to victory in that game and 27–6 victory over Southfield High School in the Division 2 Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) regional playoff game before losing 12–3 to Inkster High School in the state semifinals.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2009 Playoff Scores )〕 This was the second straight year that future teammate Gardner led Inkster to the state championships. As a sophomore, he totaled 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns, while helping De La Salle achieve a 9–3 record in 2010.〔 He led the team to the MHSAA Division 2 quarterfinals where they lost to eventual state champion Farmington Hills Harrison 33–23.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MHSAA Championships 2010 Division 2 Football )〕 He began getting scholarship offers starting with Cincinnati, but as a lifelong Michigan fan, he hoped for an offer from Michigan once they abandoned Rich Rodriguez' spread offense and hired head coach Brady Hoke and offensive coordinator Al Borges.〔 Before Michigan made him an offer on March 28, 2011, he also received offers from Bowling Green and Toledo. He gave Michigan a verbal commitment on May 10, 2011.〔 He became Michigan's first commit of the class of 2013 in order to eliminate recruiting distractions. Once he committed, he actively recruited prospects for the team.〔 He participated as one of the four quarterbacks in the July 2011 Gridiron Kings event at Disney World (with the top 24 quarterbacks participating in the 2011 Elite 11), but he was overshadowed by Matt Davis. As a junior in the fall of 2011, he passed for 1,684 yards and 19 touchdowns. He led the team to the 2011 Division 1 MHSAA state quarterfinals where they lost 9–6 to eventual state champions Cass Technical High School.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MHSAA Championships 2011 Division 1 )〕 Prior to his senior season, he was regarded as one of the best quarterback prospects produced by the state of Michigan, a state whose greatest quarterback products have been Gary Danielson, Earl Morrall, Craig Morton and James Ninowski. From the start of ESPN's rankings with the class of 2006 through the class of 2012, no Michigan quarterback ever ranked in the top 100.〔 The closest were Rob Bolden (112th, 2010) and Gardner (128th, 2010).〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2010 ESPN 150 )〕 Prior to his senior year, he was ranked as ESPN's 37th best and Rivals.com's 17th best prospect and rising in the national class of 2013.〔 Entering his senior season, he and Max Browne were the only two 5-star rated quarterbacks in the class of 2013 by Rivals.com.〔 A few weeks into his senior season, he had risen to 26th at ESPN,〔 but suffered season-ending mononucleosis with five games remaining on the schedule. By the beginning of November, he was the top quarterback in the country according to some evaluators. He ended his high school career ranked 127th by ESPN and 81st by Rivals.com.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shane Morris )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2013 ESPN 150 )〕 During the summer of 2012, he was at first unable to qualify for the 2012 Elite 11 in his home region, but participated in a second regional contest and was named MVP, earning an invitation. Morris was described as having the strongest arm of the 25 quarterbacks at the Elite 11 finals, although he did not finish in the top 11 of the competition. On September 6, 2012, he was the first quarterback selected to participate in the January 4, 2013 Under Armour All-America Game for high school seniors. As he was attempting to regain momentum following his battle with mononucleosis, he was reported to have been unimpressive in the week of practice and in the game. In the game, he was notable for being the recipient of a vicious tackle by Matthew Thomas, who was the number 1 ranked outside linebacker in the class of 2013 according to ESPN.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Matthew Thomas )〕 The ''Detroit News'' named him as the top prospect in the state of Michigan on their 2013 Blue Chip List. By January 2013, Morris had been so inundated with media requests, that he chose to discontinue any direct media contact (although he was an active social media participant) until he arrived at Michigan. On February 7, 2013, Morris was the first player to commit in writing to Michigan on signing day with a 7:01 a.m submission of his National Letter of Intent. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shane Morris」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
