SAN DIEGO – Head coach Stacie Terry-Hutson has announced the signing of 6'2" forward Yo'Myris "Yummy" Morris, a graduate transfer from TCU. Morris appeared in over 100 games across four years at TCU while making 23 starts.
"Yummy brings toughness and athleticism to our post group," Terry-Hutson said. "With four years of experience in the rugged Big-12, she will give us a powerful and aggressive interior presence. More importantly, she is a great kid that fits into the Aztec culture."
Morris, who is utilizing the extra year of eligibility offered by the NCAA due to COVID-19, will be immediately eligible for the 2022-23 season.
"If I'm surrounded by authentic people, I'll call that home," Morris said when explaining her decision to commit to SDSU.
Morris appeared in 107 games at TCU and has career averages of 4.6 points and 3.1 rebounds per game while shooting 45.8 percent from the floor and 75.4 percent from the line. Her best year statistically was 2020-21 when she averaged 7.4 points, 4.5 rebounds while shooting 50.7 percent from the field. She also shot an impressive 87.2 percent from the line and had a team-high 21 blocks. She started 16 games that year, including the season opener, where she scored a career-high 26 points against Incarnate Word.
Last year as a senior, Morris appeared in 28 games and made seven starts and averaged 5.1 points and 3.2 rebounds per game and scored in double-digits on three occasions. A two-time All-Big 12 Academic Second Team selection, she is set to graduate from TCU with a degree in fashion merchandising.
Morris was a four-star prep prospect out of North Little Rock High School where she was ranked No. 74 in the nation by ESPN HoopGurlz.
She helped her school win the 7A state championship as a sophomore and senior and make the championship game as a junior. She averaged 13.6 points and 11.2 rebounds as a senior and 14.5 points, 10.2 rebounds and 3.4 blocks as a junior, and earned multiple All-State First Team honors after each year.
Morris is the adopted sister of current Aztec Alex Crain, who also transferred from TCU.
