Morris brothers, two sides, same story.

With a height difference of almost a foot, Corey and Colby Morris make a very rare twin tandem.

Colby stands 6 feet 1 inch, while Corey is 6 feet 10 inches.

The Morris' grew up just like any other twins, "Mom says we both were the same height for a good while until it all of sudden happened [Corey's growth spurt]," Colby said.

Colby and Corey Morris are fraternal twins, which like any other siblings have a very small chance of looking exactly the same. "She [mom] tells everyone that I ate both mine and Colby's food when we were younger, and that's why I got so much bigger," Corey said. However it happened, there is no denying their sibling connection.

The twins went to Northeastern High School in Elizabeth City, N.C.

The Morris' were star athletes in high school. Corey was one of the most highly anticipated athletes to join the Rams since the Division I transition. As a high school senior, he led his basketball team to a 25-3 record while earning All-Conference honors as well as All-State Honorable Mention honors.

Colby joined the Rams football team this season sitting out as a redshirt last year. As a high school senior he lead his football team to a 10-3 record and was awarded All-State, All-Conference and All-Area honors as well as being named Northeastern High School's Most Valuable Player. With 197 tackles, Colby was the leading tackler in North Carolina in 2007.

Colby was also a standout in the classroom where he was a member of the National Honor Society, served as a junior marshall and graduated with honors. Their coaches say both men are hard workers and lead by example.

"We both played football and basketball together, until Corey got too big for football and I didn't get big enough for basketball," Colby said. Other than height, there are really no significant differences between the two. They like the same music, food and they both fancy themselves ladies men - each jokingly picking fun at the others' looks.

The brothers have been roommates throughout their time here and believe they will continue to room together.

"Being together at school helps our parents out a lot," Corey said. "We only need one car, and usually between seasons our parents can find one of us by simply finding the other."
