Alfred was also a successful academic and was named Pine Forest’s student-athlete of the month.
According to the player, his high school football career caught the attention of several colleges, but while he was praying about where to go, every school except Florida Atlantic University fell aside, so he moved there and played from 2008 to 2011 college football. His performance on the field was excellent, although the team didn’t win as often as they wanted.
After his senior season in college, Alfred Morris set his sights on the 2012 NFL draft and was selected in the sixth round of that year’s draft by the Washington Redskins with the 173rd overall pick.

His family and wife
Alfred is the son of Ronald Morris (father) andYvonne Morris (mother). He grew up in Pensacola, Florida with six of his brothers and is known simply as “Fred” at home. Although the family didn’t have much, they did have each other. The brothers often do all sorts of sports together, even going so far as to invent their own games.
Coming from a Christian home, Fred is fortunate to have both parents in his life. According to him, they are the main reason he became who he is today. This is because they instilled morals, values, and beliefs in their families, took them to church every week, and taught them what it meant to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Alfred Morris is married to Lindsey Kate Morris, daughter of Lisa and Dana Rice. She was born on March 1, 1992 in Zellwood, Florida and, like her husband, is an athlete. Lindsey attended Florida State University during her freshman year but later transferred to Florida Atlantic University (FAU) where she played as a midfielder on the women’s soccer team. She graduated in 2013 with a major in Exercise Science. She met each other during her time in Florida.
From the moment they first met, Lindsey developed Alfred’s crush, but didn’t have the guts to act on it — at least not right away. During the memorial weekend, shortly after he was drafted, Lindsey sent him a congratulatory text and he responded with an invitation since he was in town.
They met and spent some time together along with some of Lindsey’s friends. After meeting, she walked over him and told her friends he was no longer her secret boyfriend. However, as fate would have it, they started talking again not too long afterward and soon began dating, right in the spring of Alfred’s freshman year. Despite being 1,000 miles apart, they became close friends, often on the phone and skyping.
When they got to the point of making things official, the duo agreed on a few rules, including not having sex before marriage. They did this because they wanted to honor God. A few months after they began dating, they became engaged upon Lindsey’s graduation from FAU and exchanged vows in June 2014.
On May 3, 2015, God blessed their union with a son named Josiah and in 2017 they welcomed their daughter Grace. Lindsey and Alfred are both very strong Christians. When Lindsey is less busy with the kids, she posts Bible quotes on her social media, attributing everything to God.
