Matthew Mors is officially calling it a career as a player, but he's staying very close to the game of basketball.

So close, as a matter of fact, that he will be beginning a coaching career this Fall in Wisconsin.

In a press release from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, the Yankton alum has been announced as one of the new coaches on staff.

Matthew Mors – Graduate Assistant Coach
Mors joins Parkside after he concluded his collegiate career at South Dakota State, where he was a four-year contributor for the Jackrabbits. Over 132 career games, including 80 starts, he shot 47.6 percent from the field while developing into a consistent and versatile presence on both ends of the floor.

A native of Yankton, South Dakota, Mors was one of the most decorated high school players in state history. He was a three-time South Dakota Gatorade Player of the Year, a five-time all-state selection, and a three-time Argus Leader Player of the Year. Mors led Yankton High School to a state championship in 2018 and averaged more than 19 points per game in every season of his prep career, including 24.2 points per game as a senior. A four-star recruit by ESPN, he was ranked as the top prospect in South Dakota and among the top power forwards nationally in the 2021 class.

The Parkside Rangers compete in the GLIAC at the DII level of Men's Basketball, and will open the season with an exhibition against the Wisconsin Badgers on October 10th.
