Morrow is a graduate from Indiana University East (2016) and earned his master’s degree in education from Earlham in 2022.
 
While at EC, the Quakers appeared in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) championship twice in three seasons, taking home the crown in 2022. In 2021 at Earlham, they finished third in NCAA Division III in stolen bases (130), while also finishing first in the country in stolen base success rate (90%) of any team that had at least 100 stolen bases or more.
