Maryland lands NC State transfer quarterback MJ Morris
Maryland has landed its future quarterback.
NC State transfer quarterback MJ Morris has committed to the Terrapins, per Hayes Fawcett. The former three-star recruit visited College Park last week. With Maryland expecting to lose Taulia Tagovailoa to the NFL draft, landing an experienced quarterback in the portal was a must for Mike Locksley.
Morris also received heavy interest from LSU. Quarterbacks coach Joe Sloan made the trip up to North Carolina to visit with Morris.
The quarterback picked Maryland, though. He completed 58 percent of his passes while throwing for more than 1,300 yards and 14 touchdowns in two seasons with the Wolfpack. He played in five games as a true freshman and four as a sophomore. MJ Morris went 3-1 as a starter this season for NC State.
The redshirt freshman led NC State to a win over Clemson this season, completing 11 of 20 passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns. He also threw for 265 yards and four touchdowns in a win against Marshall.
Morris will be able to play immediately for Maryland. He’ll be the projected starter entering this spring. The Terps are coming of a 7-5 regular season that saw them finish 4-5 in Big Ten play. With Big Ten expansion coming, Maryland will host USC and visit Oregon in 2024.
