Former Alabama quarterback Alec Morris has been named the starting signal-caller for the North Texas Mean Green, according to reports.
“Alec has gotten a lot better since he first got here in January,” North Texas coach Seth Littrell said, via the Denton Record Chronicle. “His biggest strides were from spring ball to fall camp. You really saw his leadership ability. He did a great job of getting our guys out there this summer and holding guys accountable. It really showed in the first couple of weeks of fall camp. We were better than we ever were in the spring.”
Morris had been in Nick Saban’s program for four seasons, before opting to use the ever-popular graduate transfer option.
At UNT, he’ll be playing under new head coach Seth Littrell. Littrell — the former offensive coordinator at North Carolina — is a proponent of utilizing ‘Air Raid’ principles within his offensive scheme. As such, Morris likely will get the opportunity to throw the ball quite a bit.
