Tech fan here.
This is 100% accurate. Unfortunately, for us, all those things got exposed (and Morton’s bad tendencies) in the biggest game of the season last year. Hopefully, Hammond is good to go for 2026.

So… who went back to the Tech site and said “they’re picking on us over there”…

Oh… because what I read everywhere after that game was that he still had a broken leg and that’s why he sucked in that game.
My take after reading about his last month was that Morton is a tough a$$ dude that laid it all out on the field for y’all…

Man, that is a lazy effort ranking…Zero analysis, just dropping the same old names with a few that surprised last season.

In my casual observation of him, he always seemed to underwhelm.
Willie approved…

Probably a depth piece?
As of now the biggest game in The Big 12 Conference next Fall is our Cougars @ Texas Tech.

I think RB is wide open. They kicked that one guy off the team who was probably the front runner

Why?
No one knows for sure but Jimmy Rogers didn’t like him. It’s a culture thing. He was lazy and set a bad example I believe. That sort of thing.
“He did a solid job," Iowa State coach Jimmy Rogers said after the April 25 spring showcase. "I mean, he hasn’t done much. He’s got to consistently grow and do things off the field that are right and follow through with things and grow mentally in order to continue to get reps.”
-per DSM Register
He was off the team a little over a week later.

They have bodies they brought it an interesting stable of guys who flashed at other places, including this Tulane guy. But right now it’s kind of by committee i don’t think anybody has emerged but they feel good about it.
Honestly, the white boy walk-on from Iowa who returned kicks and punts for us last year might end up starting. He took one to the house @ TCU. He’s fast if nothing else.
He’s one of the few actual contributors who came back. So he’s obviously a fan favorite.

If someone said “the black boy” it would be racist.
Might want to find a better way of describing people…

I love a deceptively fast kid getting a punt return or kick return touchdown.

Agreed.
Kick returns may be the most exciting part of football.
I really like blocked kicks too…

If ifs and buts were candies and nuts we’d all have a merry christmas.

Agreed. And a scoop and score off the block is fun
