Morris came to FSU in 1993 as a football and baseball player, but quickly concentrated on baseball where he played on some of the best teams in Seminole history. With great size, strength and speed, Jeremy teamed with JD Drew to give the Seminoles one of the game’s best one-two punches. FSU advanced to the College World Series three out of the four years (1994, ’95, ’96) that Morris played.

A first team All-ACC selection as a junior and senior (96-97), Jeremy earned second team All-America honors in 1996 and was named to a numerous All-America first teams as a senior. Morris had a 20-game hitting streak in 1996 and finished his Florida State career with a .336 batting average, 222 runs, 302 hits, 78 doubles, 46 home runs and 273 RBI, all of which rank among career bests for FSU players. He set the NCAA single-season record for doubles in a season as a junior with 36.

FSU won at least 50 games in each of Morris’ four seasons and won the ACC Championship twice. The Seminoles finished sixth, third, fifth and ninth nationally over his career.
