Overview
- M.J. Morris, a redshirt senior with one year of eligibility, signed with Texas to reinforce the quarterback room behind Arch Manning.
- The former NC State and Maryland passer totaled 2,021 career yards with 20 touchdowns and 15 interceptions across 16 games and nine starts.
- In 2025 at Coastal Carolina, he appeared in four games and threw for 304 yards with one touchdown and four interceptions.
- Morris is expected to compete for the No. 2 job with KJ Lacey and incoming five-star freshman Dia Bell rather than challenge Manning for the starting role.
- This is the second straight offseason Texas added a one-year veteran at quarterback, following last year’s backup addition of Matthew Caldwell.
