Oklahoma rewards walk-on WR Lee Morris with scholarship

NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma walk-on receiver Lee Morris, who has three career receptions for 126 yards -- and three touchdowns -- is finally on scholarship.

Morris posted his response a few minutes later.

It's been a dream of mine since I was kid. And now I can proudly say, that I'm playing football at The University of Oklahoma on FULL Scholarship! #BoomerSooner
