Morris X. Johnson rose from modest beginnings to become a national and international wrestling champion, scholar-athlete, therapist and school psychologist, coach, and mentor. He combined exceptional achievement with humility, empathy, hard work, and a commitment to giving back.

Morris changed lives. His influence continues through the athletes, children, and families he helped, as well as through the people they have influenced in turn.

Talent and potential are a beginning. It is up to us to provide opportunities.

The Morris X. Johnson Scholar-Athlete Endowed Scholarship at San Francisco State University aims to create opportunities for future scholar-athletes to excel, lead, serve others, and strengthen their communities.

The next ripple may begin at San Francisco State University, but its impact can extend far beyond it.
