A native of Tyler, Texas, Morris was a four-time First Team All-Conference selection in high school and earned Co-Player of the Year honors during the 2019–2020 season.

She began her collegiate career at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College, where she was named NJCAA Region 2 Player of the Year in both the 2021–2022 and 2022–2023 seasons.
