MISSOULA — Ty Morrison had a late start to football, not for lack of interest, but when growing up, you have to listen to your parents at the end of the day.

"I had always wanted to play football," Morrison said. "I didn't want to be a kicker. But my mom wouldn't let me play anything else because she'd heard all these stories about people getting hurt and stuff. So that was my in.

"My freshman year of high school, I was just playing soccer. I was a soccer player. And some of my buddies knew how strong of a leg I had because you play soccer during P.E. and stuff in middle school growing up. And so they told me that they didn't have a kicker and they asked me to come out and try and hit a couple balls, and the coaches were begging me to come back out and play."
