UNLV graduate transfer Tim Hough was all set to join the Oregon Ducks until he was hit with a surprise on June 4.
That’s when his daughter, Peyton, was born. It happened earlier than expected, and suddenly the Las Vegas native didn’t feel like moving far from home anymore.
“I graduated May 12 from UNLV and the baby wasn’t supposed be due till after I went to Oregon,” Hough said. “But she came early, so I had to stay close because then you realize it was more serious than it seems.”
That led the cornerback to join the Arizona Wildcats, whose home stadium is a manageable 400 miles from Vegas.
