8 things to know about Dolphins S Patrick McMorris

After graduating from SDSU, McMorris transferred to Cal for one more season of college football. The decision to head north and play for the Golden Bears was largely influenced by family ties.

One of his brothers, Hakim, wrapped up his time on the Cal track and field team in 2023. Another brother, Malik, was also on the track and field team at Cal, played fullback for the football team, and is now a graduate assistant on the school’s coaching staff.

“He ended up getting a GA job during the spring, and I was able to kind of look at my options and see what the best fit for me was,” McMorris told reporters Saturday. “That just kind of all aligned and it was just perfect timing for me to go into the portal, graduate from San Diego State as well, and be a grad transfer and go to Cal and play under my brother.”
