The Path to Norman

Trey Morrison was a three-star prospect out of Georgia in the 2018 recruiting class. He held offers from Iowa State, Memphis, West Virginia, and a large mix of others. North Carolina ended up as his landing spot out of high school. He went on to play in 49 games, starting in 44, over the next four seasons. Following the 2021 season, Morrison decided to try his talents at another program for his final collegiate season and caught the attention of the new OU staff.

Career so Far

Morrison comes to OU as a four-year starter at DB, earning time in various parts of the secondary. He became a starter in his freshman season and consistently stayed as such throughout his time at UNC. Morrison amassed 136 tackles during his first four seasons and earned honorable mention All-ACC selection in 2020.

Highlights

This Season

Morrison is one of the most experienced players in OU’s secondary room. He was worked at the nickel / Cheetah spot throughout the offseason, but could conceivably earn time elsewhere. Several players will get run at the Cheetah spot depending on the defensive package employed by Coach Venables. Morrison will have to fight for his snaps this year, but his experience will certainly get him on the field in his last season in college.
