Ridge Point's Avery Morcho is that guy
THE TOTAL PACKAGE: Ridge Point's Morcho is built different
Avery Morcho is the total package.
The Ridge Point offensive lineman stands an imposing 6-foot-6 and weighs in at 290 pounds. He’s crushing it in the classroom, and his athleticism has made him one of the most coveted prospects in H-Town.
But it all started with a different game.
“Basketball was my first love,” Morcho laughed. “I played until I was a sophomore but had to quit because I was losing too much weight running up and down the court. But having played since I was a kid, it gave me great footwork that I use now as an offensive lineman.”
Coach Rick LaFavers wasted no time putting Morcho to work when he started walking the halls of Fort Bend ISD’s powerhouse program.
“I’ve always been the biggest guy, and they moved me up to varsity as a freshman,” he said. “This might sound crazy, but on my very first play, I had a pancake block. I wasn’t fully developed yet… hadn’t really grown into my body. I was kind of thrown into the fire back then, but it made me who I am today.”
And who he is today? A four-star recruit with dozens of college offers.
“My first offer was from Texas Tech after my sophomore year… that gave me so much confidence,” Morcho said. “As I’ve gotten deeper in the recruiting process, I’m really looking for a great offensive line coach—someone who can get the most out of me. I’m pretty smart and would like to possibly pursue engineering as a career after football.”
For now, though, it’s all about Ridge Point football.
“This senior class is special,” he said. “I grew up going to Ridge Point games when I was in elementary school. I saw how those coaches developed great offensive and defensive linemen who went on to play in college. I knew if I just listened and put in the work, I could do it too.”
Now, it’s his turn to leave a legacy.
“Our time is almost over,” Morcho reflected. “I know the seniors are excited to go play in college, but we’re going to cherish every moment next year. It’s going to be a great season because of the brotherhood we’ve built over the years. We have great chemistry, and I love being one of the vocal leaders.”
Morcho has an official visit locked in with SMU, with more sure to fill up his calendar soon.
But before he got back to grinding, we ran him through the VYPE Combine 411 Feature. Here’s the lowdown:
