A three-sport standout at the University of Massachusetts, Milt Morin's gridiron prowess led the Minutemen to an undefeated season in 1963 and its first-ever postseason appearance in the 1964 Tangerine Bowl. Twice named an All-American, Morin received first team laurels in 1964 and was selected as a second team choice the following season. A member of two Yankee Conference championship teams, he was named an all-conference selection three times. Morin was chosen as a First Team All-East and First Team All-New England player in consecutive seasons. Even though he also played defense and served as the team's placekicker his senior year, Morin still finished his collegiate career with a then-school record 1,151 career receiving yards. He also earned a combined seven varsity letters in football, wrestling and lacrosse. The first-ever UMass player to be selected as a first- round draft pick, Morin played ten years for the Cleveland Browns. Before joing the Browns, Milt played in the Chicago College All Star game against the Green Bay Packers. He was named to the Pro Bowl twice times and ranked in the franchise's top ten in receiving yards (4,208) and receptions (271) upon retirement.
