per STrib:
Luke Middendorf, Morgan’s religious mentor through Athletes in Action, said the quarterback can be fiery and competitive in the game but incredibly polite and quiet outside it. All of this suggests Morgan is very aware of his prominence on the team, the responsibility he wields and how acting the part is what gains respect.
Fleck even said it: There’s not a lot of hype around Morgan. But with the team entering a pivotal season, stacked offense and tentatively optimistic defense included, featuring a quarterback who is more reliable than sensational might be just what the Gophers need.
“You know what you’re getting every time you put Tanner on the field,” Fleck said. “… He gets the most out of everybody around him. And I think when he steps into the huddle, or he’s on the field, there is a sense of urgency with our whole team.
“And he’s earned that. That has not been given to him.”
