Tanner Morgan starring at No. 7 Minnesota after 'a lot of schools missed out'

Louisville Courier Journal

Tanner Morgan was good at every sport he played growing up. Bryce Ashl ey knows that because, well, he was there with him, playing football, basketball, baseball — even lacing up roller blades to play hockey in their cul-de-sac. That’s how it was ever since Morgan moved three houses down from Ashley in Union, Kentucky, when they were 3 years old.

The two grew up together, attending the same elementary, middle and high schools, and Morgan went on to be a finalist for Kentucky’s Mr. Football award, passing for 2,747 yards and 27 touchdowns his senior season.
