BATON ROUGE - Morlan "Mo" Isom is not your typical homecoming queen. She is as serious about becoming a kicker on the LSU football team as a kick in the face.
Isom, a star goalkeeper on the LSU soccer team from 2008-11, became the first female student-athlete to be named LSU's homecoming queen last fall. Now she wants to be LSU's first female football player. She went through a walk-on tryout with other prospective kickers Tuesday during the Tigers' spring drills.

***Apparently she made a 51 yard FG. Go Mo GO!

That's pretty darned good. Geez, even when i was young i could barely kick a ball 50 yards, and by then it was hitting the ground, not 10 feed up. I also didn't always know where it was going.

who may have an Olympics in her future, so he clearly understands and supports women athletes. Mo is getting a fairer shot than she would at a lot of schools.
