In 2009 Darius Carey had a standout true freshman season racking up 509 receiving yards. Not sure what the record was before that but here are the top true freshmen seasons in terms of receiving yards since, by my research:
378 - Miles Coleman 2024
363 - Landon Sides 2023
295 - Wyatt Young 2024
281 - Jaelon Darden 2017
253 - Carlos Harris 2012
240 - Deonte Simpson 2019
151 - Darvin Kidsy 2013
146 - Tyler Wilson 2016
97 - Rico Bussey 2016
These guys on our roster are in really good company being atop some real ballers on this list. NFL guys, 1,000 yard seasons, etc.
Two takeaways here are that you can make an impact early here, especially at receiver, and that even in the transfer portal it’s still important to sign top high school talent as they seems to be the guys more likely to remain loyal when they otherwise would have good stock in the transfer portal/NIL market.
PLEASE DON’T read this as an endorsement of Morris or defense of the current AD. But facts are facts.
2 Conference Championship appearances in 7 years in a weaker CUSA. The last appearance was with a 7-5 record. And had CUSA not abolished divisions we would have finished 2nd place to UTSA and not gotten the chance to get beaten by them again. Morris has just completed year 2 and he is dealing with transfer portal and NIL. So calling the team less competitive is a very subjective metric as you are applying it comparing Morris vs Littrell. Seth Littrell 2nd season was great. But there was no real improvement after that season and he finessed that into 2 contract extensions and the highest head coach salary in CUSA for a while. Those decisions were made by his predecessor.
It is absolutely ridiculous that a thread titled “Seth Littrell” exists on a UNT forum when he is now an unemployed OC whose Oklahoma team performed better after he was fired.
