In December of 2019, Indiana University lost in the third round of the NCAA Men’s Soccer Tournament. On that team was 2019 Big Ten Freshmen of the Year, Aidan Morris. Thanks to a desire to improve, a spirit of humility and learning from players around him, a year later saw him winning a different tournament. His impact performance secured the Columbus Crew the MLS Cup.
Crew head coach Caleb Porter is known for playing his best players regardless of age, and on Oct. 7, 2020, he placed Morris’ in the starting 11 for the Black & Gold the first time.
