WAKE FOREST WIDE RECEIVER NAMED GO BOWLING

MILITARY BOWL STEM SCHOLAR-ATHLETE

Wake Forest University wide receiver Taylor Morin, a graduate student with a degree in engineering, has been named a Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete for the fourth consecutive season.

Morin, who is from Centreville, Va., has a 3.86 grade-point average. He is pursuing his master’s degree in business administration. He graduated summa cum laude with minors in math and entrepreneurship and has been named to the Dean’s List, the AD’s Honor Roll and the ACC Academic Honor Roll throughout his college career.

On the field, Morin is a team captain and is a member of the team’s player-nominated leadership council.

Among the engineering projects Morin has worked on are building a prototype for a full-size cardboard couch for families in emergency situations; operating light, humidity, temperature and wind sensors to determine the viability for a rooftop garden; comparing the motion of patients with potential spinal injuries during different types of transfers between stretchers; and focusing on the prevention of eutrophication for bodies of water around the world. Morin also has worked on an electrical engineering project designing light-up shoes.

The Go Bowling Military Bowl is proud to announce the members of the fourth annual STEM Scholar-Athlete Program, recognizing some of the brightest minds competing on the gridiron in the ACC and the American Athletic Conference.

“The Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete Program honors an amazing group of young men who truly showcase what it means to be a student-athlete,” Military Bowl Foundation President & Executive Director Steve Beck said. “We are thrilled to honor this group of talented players for their success on and off the field while continually challenging themselves in the classroom.”

The Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete Program honors one football player at each university that is a member of the ACC and the American Athletic Conference – the two conferences that are represented in the Go Bowling Military Bowl college football game. These players are studying STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) subjects and/or aspire to STEM careers.

The two players whose teams compete in the 2024 Go Bowling Military Bowl will be recognized at the game, which takes place on Saturday, Dec. 28 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Md. Kickoff is at 5:45 p.m. ET and the game will be televised on ESPN. Bowl tickets are on sale now. A donation will be made in the name of these two players to their respective school’s general scholarship fund.
