Gus Morris

Pulling back the curtains of a part of the game of football that fans don't really know about, officiating.

Gus Morris was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia where he played multiple youth sports. After graduating from Millsaps college, he was inducted into their Hall of Fame as a football player. Following his days as a player, Gus used football officiating for recreation and to fill his desire for physical activity. He retired from officiating in 2021 after an incredible 31 year career in the Southeastern Conference that includes 5 SEC Championships, 16 postseason bowl games and 7 Senior Bowls. In this wonderful piece of storytelling, Gus shares his experiences that will make you laugh, cry, and realize what it takes to be an official at the highest levels. His time away from the gridiron is now filled with running multiple businesses, serving on the boards of non-profit organizations, mentoring young officials and spending time in the outdoors with his Vizslas, Reagan and Eunice.
