Teddy Morris
- Induction:
- 1976
- Class:
- 1966
From the moment he arrived on the MT campus in 1962, Teddy Morris was destined to set collegiate football on its collective ear. In his four years, he helped the Blue Raiders earn a 32-8-1 record which yielded three OVC championships. His record of 41 touchdown passes, 14.7 yards per completion and 252 points scored in passing has stood the test of time.
After leading the Blue Raiders to a 10-0 season, he was named OVC Offensive player of the Year in 1965. In 1970, the "Nashville Banner" named him OVC Offensive Player of the Decade. In recognition of his stellar performance on the gridiron, his jersey number — 14 — was officially retired in his last year of play. Morris went on to be an assistant MT coach from 1970-73 before going into private business.
