Tim Morrison enters his second year coaching the offensive line at Grand Valley State. Morrison's offensive line in 2010 played a key role in an offense that ranked nationally in several categories, including 14th in rushing offense (216.3), 16th in scoring offense (36.1) and 17th in total offense (437.6).
Morrison tutored three All-GLIAC honorees in 2010, including first-team performers Cameron Bradfield and Matt Armstrong. Bradfield signed a free agent contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars, while Armstrong is a preseason all-american.
Prior to his arrival at GVSU, Morrison spent nine years as the offensive line coach and recruiting coordinator at Wartburg. In addition, Morrison spent the two years (2008-2009) as the offensive coordinator for the Knights. Wartburg was 66-17 during his time on the staff, including four trips to the NCAA DIII playoffs. The Knights ranked as one of the top offensive units in the Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and in Division III with Morrison at the helm of the offense. Wartburg used a balanced attack en route to setting several team and individual records, while his offensive lines allowed just 48 quarterback sacks in over 1,600 passing attempts from 2002-2009. Tim spent two years (1999-2000) coaching the linebackers and special teams at Allegheny College.
"I am excited to join the Grand Valley State football program," said Morrison. "GVSU has a storied history and you can feel the excitement surrounding Laker football each and every day."
Morrison earned four letters (1995-1999) and was the starting fullback for three seasons at Wartburg. He was voted team captain as a senior. Morrison earned a B.A. degree in secondary education at Wartburg in 1999 and completed his masters of arts in education degree from Viterbo (Wis.) University in July of 2007.
Tim and his wife, Betsy, reside in Grandville.
