Lake Creek QB Eli Morcos is an Aggie
KEEPING THE FAITH: Lake Creek's Morcos is an Aggie
Eli Morcos leans on his faith, plain and simple.
The Lake Creek QB was a little late to the recruiting game as schools took a “wait and see” approach until late in his junior year.
He remained calm and content.
He committed to the Tulsa Hurricanes last June and had every intention of being a Hurricane until coach Kevin Wilson was let go a few weeks ago.
“I’ve never gone through the recruiting process wanting more and more,” he said. “I’ve leaned on God and been so content. Even when I wasn’t getting the early offers, I was patient, knowing it was His plan, not mine.”
With Wilson out, schools started to reach out to the 6-foot-2 signal-caller. Texas A&M also had a recent de-commitment at QB, and the conversations began to pick up with the Aggies.
“My whole world flipped really quickly,” he said. “God threw me a curveball and having the opportunity to play at a Power 4 school in the SEC is an incredible blessing.”
Texas State and coach GJ Kinne threw their name in the hat over the weekend, but coming off a magical experience at the Texas A&M-Texas game Saturday, it was a wrap.
“That stadium was rocking and looking into the stands with my friends and family all there was special,” he said. “If you look at Coach Elko and Coach Klein as people and what they stand for, it’s very inspiring. What they have done in year one is impressive. I believe they will develop me during my time there and help me reach my goal of getting to the NFL.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen but I plan to grind it out until I become the starter.”
It’s in God’s hands now.
