Chandler Morris (born December 26, 2000) is an American football quarterback for the North Texas Mean Green. He previously played for the Oklahoma Sooners and the TCU Horned Frogs.

Early life
Morris was born in Houston and, as the son of coach Chad Morris, grew up in several different locations as the family followed the elder Morris' career throughout Texas and including time in both Oklahoma and South Carolina. After his Dad became the head coach at Southern Methodist University, he attended Highland Park High School, eventually becoming an Under Armour All-American. Morris led his team to a perfect 16–0 record while playing quarterback as a junior and won the Class 5A-1 state championship, being named most valuable player in the championship while finishing the season with 4,036 passing yards and 46 touchdowns with only six interceptions thrown. As a senior, he passed for 3,658 yards and 42 touchdowns, additionally totaling 635 rushing yards for 17 touchdowns on his way to earning district MVP honors. Ranked a three-star recruit, he initially committed to play college football for the Arkansas Razorbacks, but de-committed after his father was fired as their coach. He instead began his collegiate career with the Oklahoma Sooners.

Oklahoma
Morris saw limited action for Oklahoma as a true freshman in 2020, completing three-of-five pass attempts for 39 yards. He announced his intention to transfer after the season, and Morris ultimately transferred to play for the TCU Horned Frogs.

TCU
Morris played four games for the Horned Frogs in 2021, preserving a redshirt. He had first to start against Baylor and earned Big 12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week honors after leading the Horned Frogs to a 30–28 win while totaling 531 yards of offense, including 461 passing yards and 70 rushing yards. He finished the season having completed 50-of-76 passing attempts for 717 yards and three touchdowns. In 2022, Morris competed with Sam Jackson and Max Duggan for the starting quarterback role. He won the job and started in the first game of the season, a win over Colorado, but was injured in the game and missed significant time. By the time he recovered, he was backup to Duggan and played little for the rest of the season, finishing the season having completed 18-of-27 pass attempts for 145 and one score as the Horned Frogs went on to be the runner-up in the national championship.

Morris was named TCU's starter to begin the 2023 season. In the season opener, against Colorado, he completed 24-of-42 pass attempts for 279 yards with two touchdowns as the Horned Frogs were upset by a score of 45–42.

On December 18, 2023, Morris announced that he would be entering the transfer portal for the second time.
