Tioga High School pitcher/outfielder Alex Morrison has a college baseball future.

Monday, the right-hander signed scholarship papers to compete at the junior college level with one of the country’s top programs — just over an hour south of home. After finishing his prep career this spring at Tioga, Morrison will head down to LSUE in Eunice to join a consistent junior college World Series contender.

Morrison, who battled arm injuries in 2023, batted .295 with six doubles and 11 RBIs as a center fielder during his junior season.

Morrison turned heads over the summer once he was able to return to the mound and moved into the top 40 of the state’s 2024 baseball prospects, according to Prep Baseball Report.
