Two years ago, Eric Morris got a routine call from a friend asking if the North Texas head coach had an open walk-on spot for a quarterback.
The Mean Green happened to have one free that spring and didn’t mind bringing in someone who could essentially serve as a camp arm the next few seasons to help run the scout team and get receivers additional work during practice. Morris asked for the film to check the player out as they were considering a number of options across a state that is overly productive at the position.
