UNLV’s offensive line paved the way for the Rebels to rush for 401 yards against Wyoming on Saturday in what was the sixth-highest rushing total in school history. The front line will be bolstered in the future by Ashton Morgan, a 6-foot-5-inch, 300-pound offensive tackle who is the latest recruit to commit to UNLV’s 2017 recruiting class.
Rated a two-star recruit by Rivals, the senior at Pleasant Valley High School in Chico, California, also received interest from Harvard and San Jose State.
Morgan might help open holes one day for Rebels commit Tariq Hollandsworth, a running back who rushed for a season-high 271 yards and three touchdowns on 25 carries and added a 10-yard touchdown catch Friday to help Sacramento High (9-1) whip Stagg 54-14 in a playoff game.
