TULSA, Okla. — It hurt, no matter what Sevion Morrison says, according to the people closest to him.



Morrison piled up huge numbers in the fall of 2018 as a junior at Tulsa’s Edison Prep, rushing for 2,728 yards and 35 touchdowns. He gained 12.8 yards per carry. In a five-game stretch, he exceeded 1,700 yards, twice rushing for more than 400.



And from late October of last year through January, coaches from every Power 5 league called him to offer scholarships.



Nothing, though, from Oklahoma or Oklahoma State.



“I felt bad,” Edison coach Tony Daniels said. “It takes the breath out of you a little bit.”



Morrison picked Nebraska, the first big school to offer. He’s set to sign Wednesday and to provide the Huskers with a needed offensive weapon as they build the pieces in coach Scott Frost’s offense to break free of three consecutive losing seasons.
