VIDEO: 4-Star Texas Native QB Chandler Morris Announces Signing With Oklahoma With a 'Horns Down'
The Oklahoma Sooners will soon be adding another talented passer to their typically crowded QB room, as 4-star prospect Chandler Morris has committed to the team as a member of the class of 2020. Unfortunately for Morris, he will now be a marked man in the Red River Rivalry, as his live commitment to OU was accompanied with the infamous "Horns Down" taunt.

Morris, who happens to be from Dallas, will surely earn him fans in Norman thanks to his brash on-air commitment, as rule No. 1 in Sooner country is that you must hate the Horns. And with 5-star quarterback Brock Vandagriff having decommitted from the team on Wednesday, Morris will have a much clearer path to playing time.

While this was a good start to Morris' tenure with the Sooners, the hard work has not even begun. But at this early stage, it's so far, so good for the young gunslinger.
