The Path to Norman
Jamal Morris comes to OU out of Richmond, Texas. With offers from a host of top programs, including Michigan, Texas, LSU, and Georgia, Morris had plenty of options for his college career. He’s a big, aggressive defender with experience all over the secondary. On the weekend of the 2018 spring game, Coach Riley sent out seven sets of Twitter eyes. Morris accounted for one of those sets as he announced his commitment.

Highlights
This Season
The inside linebacker position in 2021 will be OU’s deepest in many years. David Ugwoegbu and Brian Asamoah are expected to start, with Caleb Kelly and DaShaun White right behind them. That’s without mentioning the extremely talented young backers like Danny Stutsman and Shane Whitter waiting to play. Morris is going to have to push hard for playing time at one of Oklahoma’s strongest positions on the field.
