Riley/Williams, the Utah OC/QB, Cignetti/Bunch of JMU players. There are some others I’m forgetting.Is it happening a lot? I know Mateer followed his OC to ou but his HC went to Wake. He probably would’ve ended up at ou anyway since he grew up and his family lives just a couple hours south and he was a fan. I know Pavia followed his OC from N Mexico a few years ago, and Sheduer followed his Dad of course. Not saying it’s not happening, just couldn’t think of others.
Regardless of what happens with Morris, the N Texas kid is going to be highly sought after by some big name P4 teams, with probably some big time SEC/B10 $$$. A 6-4 freshman who will have over 3000 yards and 25+ TDs. Unless they are just tied at the hip, I don’t think it’s a given he’ll follow Morris.
It’s not just the HC/QB combo, but yes it’s definitely a trend and one I think we’ll see more of. Players simply didn’t have the option to follow the coach before.
