Legendary football coach Vince Lombardi said, “Football is like life – it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.”
If there were one member of the Texas Tech football team to personify the idea of perseverance it would be offensive lineman Tony Morales.
As a senior in high school, Morales was rated as a 4-star prospect and the No. 3 center in the nation. He was a starter in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, and a member of Dave Campbell’s top 300 players and top 25 offensive linemen in the nation.
