Pretty sure Olano was an All American. Think he kicked a 50 yarder in the All American game(??). He was also recruited by some heavy hitters.

My guess is that the two don't compare favorably, but at that position, it really doesn't matter. There aren't a ton of measurables outside of leg strength and that will change over time. If his leg strength is good(not necessarily great) and he's accurate....... that'll do. Can't have guys missing 5 yards left/right on a 45 yard kick or with a wind in your face. If you have leg from 52+......huge bonus.
Chris Sailer Kicking had Olano ranked #3 in their national rankings. They have Morales ranked #7. Pretty comparable with slight edge to Olano.

He’s done a great job. What’s funny is South Carolina fans tried to say he couldn’t recruit. If we get Knowles this will be a very good recruiting class for the offense
Beamer moved him to TE coach to make room for James Coley, who then bolted for Georgia. If that isn't top tier staff management, I don't know what is
