Last year, Class of 2022 Tyler Morris, a KPGFootball Sophomore All-Stater, tore his hip in Indianapolis at the Best of the Midwest Combine which sidelined him for 2 months. This past weekend, he was back with a vengeance at the combine which sidelined him last year.
However, if you think it didn’t take considerable courage to enter that same combine and compete at that same venue, well, you’re wrong. It did, and Morris manned up to the yolk and pulled the figurative cart across the finish line in convincing fashion.
Having discourse with the Morris’s over social media, we were told at KPGFootball Tyler’s walking into the facility brought back painful memories. After this past weekend, he will return for his Junior offseason with vastly different memories.
Tyler put his name on the board right off the bat with two 40’s in the 4.4’s. Now that is the kind of straight-line speed which makes college coaches pay attention. Tyler went on to clock a 6.8-second L-cone drill and a pro-agility shuttle which made four different coaches timing him exclaim, “No way!” We have it on good authority that shuttle time was 3.94-seconds. Blistering fast. Add us as the fifth, “No way!”
Tyler’s broad jump was 113-inches (9’5″) and his one on one coverage skills were blanketing. Before we forget, Tyler also carries a 4.0 GPA attending one of Kentucky’s finest private schools.
Tyler has additional “Business trips” upcoming before taking the field for LCA in the Fall of 2020. LCA returns many players off a team which split a couple of nail-biters last season against the Classification’s State Championship team in Somerset.
LCA will be firmly in the picture next season for the march to Kroger filed. Tyler Morris is just one of the rising Juniors who will be leading the band.
This is Coach HB Lyon, reporting for KPGFootball, and we’re JUST CALLING IT LIKE WE SEE IT!
