From the UMass Athletics Hall of Fame
One of the most versatile athletes ever to play for UMass, Morin lettered in football for three years from 1963-65. He was a three-time All-America selection, and set a then-school record of career receiving yards with 1,151. He also excelled at defense and was the team's placekicker during his senior year. He was part of two Yankee Conference championship teams under Vic Fusia, helping UMass compile and impressive 23-4-1 record during his three years, including a 14-1 YanCon mark, and a trip to the Tangerine Bowl. Morin was also the New England heavyweight wrestling champion in 1965, and played lacrosse for Dick Garber's stickmen. A first-round draft pick by the Cleveland Browns in the 1966 NFL Draft, he went on to play ten seasons for the Browns. He played in three Pro-Bowls (1966, 1968, 1969) and ranks eighth on Cleveland's all-time receiving yardage list with 4,208 career yards. He is also tied for eighth on the Brown's career receptions list with 271. Morin was inducted into the UMass Athletic Hall of Fame in 1970
RIP Milt.....
