It is a sad day for Michigan sports fans as former U-M point guard has reportedly passed away.
, Morris was discovered on Thursday in the Los Angeles area, though specific details regarding his cause of death have not been released.
"With great sadness we announce the passing of our dearly beloved son, Darius Aaron Morris,” Morris’ family told TMZ."During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace." During his two-year stint as a Wolverine, Morris helped run John Beilein’s offense, and was a prolific passer as Michigan’s point guard. During the 2010-11 season, Morris led the Big Ten in assists, and he earned their-team All-Big Ten honors for his standout campaign. That year, Morris also set the U-M single-season assist record with 235 helpers on the year, though both Trey Burke and Zavier Simpson would go on to later eclipse that mark.
