Chandler Morris is a name to know if you haven't become familiar with him yet. The junior quarterback representing the North Texas Mean Green has been making noise this season, and I think he will be one of the biggest transfer portal targets at the end of this season.
Morris, a prominent quarterback coming into college football, has experienced some unexpected twists in his journey after leaving Oklahoma for a small stint at TCU, leading Morris to the Mean Green. However, he is now aiming to take control of his destiny as he has recently surpassed all of his career numbers in under 5 weeks of play with North Texas.
Morris has consistently thrown for over 300 yards in four out of his five games, culminating in a remarkable performance of 439 yards and five passing TDs in a recent win against Tulsa. This performance put Chandler at 1,643 yards for the season so far, which ranks fifth in the nation. His 16 passing touchdowns also rank him second currently in all of CFB, and it does not seem like he will be slowing down anytime soon.
While some scouts might not fall in love with his arm immediately, I believe the consistency with which Morris makes the passes look effortless is great on tape. He can put the ball on the money deep and is smart enough to take the layup dump pass when the option is available.
His film speaks volumes about his ability to be a true gunslinger, capable of connecting on throws at all three levels and delivering deep ball passes in one-on-one situations.
Chandler is not a speedster, but he does have the athleticism to gain positive yardage when escaping the pocket. His low sack numbers can be accredited to his offensive line, but I believe this also speaks about Morris' IQ and pocket presence not to take negative yardage.
With his smooth and effortless play, Chandler Morris will undoubtedly emerge as one of the most coveted prospects after this season for teams' quarterbacks hunting in the portal. It's time to recognize his potential and invest in his stock now.
