How Tyler Morris is ‘fearless’ as a punt returner

Through their first seven games of the season, Michigan has given the majority of the punt return reps to two players —Tyler Morris and Jake Thaw.

Thaw’s returned nine punts for 61 yards, while Morris has returned six for 84 yards.

Morris’ best punt return of the season came on Saturday during Michigan’s 52-7 win over Indiana.

“We were confident we were going to get a big punt return,” Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh said after the game. “That happened.”

It was a 27-yard return that started with the ball bouncing over Morris’ head. Morris retreated to evade defenders and turned what could have been a loss into a great gain.
