Tony Morales is the type of player who goes all out on every play and finds a way to contribute no matter what the circumstance. A perfect example was last year's game at Delaware. Morales returned a kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown, blocked a 22-yard field goal, registered a team-high six tackles and saved a punt from the endzone to pin the Blue Hens at their own two-yard line. Morales is a tough, emotional leader and will be a major factor again on defense and special teams. 1998: Totaled 54 tackles on the season, 31 of them unassisted...fifth on the team in tackles...had career-high 11 tackles against William & Mary...returned nine kicks for a total of 266 yards, leading the A10 with average of 29.6 yards. 1997: Played all 11 games...had 25 tackles...first career interception came at Connecticut...had season-high five stops against Delaware...also ran track. 1996: Reserve at corner...personal game high was four stops.1995: Redshirt season.
