Given the specter of agents and uncertainty about their motives, Morris has turned to Kacyvenski and Nowinski for advice. And it’s not just the successful pros who advise Morris about how to run the gauntlet. Terrence Patterson ’00 was Harvard’s primary pre-Morris receiver, and has seen his protegé take an axe to his receiving records. Patterson, who worked out briefly for the NFL before winding up with a corporate job in the Walt Disney Company, never garnered the hype that surrounds Morris now, but he says that what chatter...
...told Carl that if he needs a point of reference, I’m here, and to keep his head on,” Patterson says. “Don’t let the hype and the pressure get to you.

Fellow senior defensive end Stewart Satullo had one against Princeton and has seven for the year, while classmates Jason Lange, a Second Team All-Ivy winner last year, and Mark Patterson each have five...
