Arkansas suffers 2 more decommitments, including son of Chad Morris
Two more players have de-committed from the Arkansas football team, its 6th and 7th since Chad Morris was fired on Sunday a few weeks short of completing his 2nd season in Fayetteville.
While players choosing to look elsewhere with Morris fired has not come as a surprise, one of the de-commitments on Tuesday evening was even less surprising. Morris’s son Chandler, a 4-star recruit out of Dallas and ranked by 247Sports as the No. 13 dual-threat quarterback in the class of 2020, announced on Twitter that he was re-opening his recruitment.
I would like to announce that I will be decomitting from the University of Arkansas and will be reopening my recruitment at this time.

Chandler Morris has a fairly strong offer sheet outside of his father’s former stops of Clemson, where the elder Morris was the offensive coordinator for a number of years, and SMU, the school that hired him from Clemson for its head-coaching vacancy in 2015. Auburn, Boise State, Oklahoma, and Virginia Tech are among the schools on the younger Morris’s list.
A second de-commitment came earlier in the evening. Brandon Frazier, a 3-star tight end from Texas, announced on Twitter that he would re-open his own recruitment after pledging back in May. He became the 2nd tight end to de-commit from the program after Morris’s dismissal.

Good Riddance to ALL members of the Morris family. If you aren’t going to move to Arkansas while CM was the head coach-we certainly don’t want you playing here later on….You dragged our program down below what anyone could ever imagine & the fact you will always been known as the WORST head coach in Power 5 history (let alone the SEC) will speak volumes to your head coaching endeavors for the future….”Full-Tilt Boogie” my ass.
I was against CM from day one but don’t blame the kid. Part of why Morris was wrong for the program was not moving his family to Fayetteville and should make anyone question his commitment to UA, but Chandler didn’t have any part of that. From the day he was signed I questioned his overall talent to be an SEC QB, but regardless, he’s a kid who had nothing to do with the train wreck that was the CM era and I wish him the best wherever he ends up.
