Curious to see how he develops Morris and how quickly the OL and RBs can gel together.

…but the initial leak was met with pushback by few members of the TCU fanbase and Baylor trolls because fans love to pick and choose their moral high ground.

Before flipping to UH, he actually decommitted after a visit to Cal. Where Sonny was head coach at the time.
