It’s not often that a man that never played a snap of varsity football gets an opportunity to make it in the ISFL. Austin Morley, wide reciever out of The Ohio State University, is looking to do just that. His story is not one of glamour, though. Barely seeing the JV field his first two years of high school, Morley decided to take off the cleats after his sophomore season.
A “late bloomer”, he was always small, slow, and weak. No longer could he justify the time and effort spent at practice to ride the pine. Instead, his varsity seasons were spent on the lacrosse field. While he was technically no better at lacrosse than football, he began to find his athletic footing.
After enrolling at Ohio State, Austin once again found his love for the game of football. A delayed growth spurt put him more in line with his peers, and after his sophomore year, he tried out for the Club football team. Clocking a respective 4.5s 40 yard dash and 20 yard shuttle, he made the team.
His junior season was full of ups and downs. Through the first 4 games, Morley recorded 17 catches for 146 yards and 2 touchdowns. Additionally, he returned 7 punts for an average of 17 yards per return and 1 touchdown. In the 5th game of the season, however, Morley suffered a broken hand and could not finish the season. He continued to travel with the team and supported them from the sideline for the final 4 games. In his senior season he was voted a team captain and amassed 57 receptions for 437 yards and 5 touchdowns, while returning 16 punts scoring another 2 touchdowns.
Now, Austin is looking to break onto the scene in the ISFL. Never forgotten because he was never thought about, he is simply looking to prove to himself that he can do what he once thought was impossible.
