“That’s What Leadership Looks Like!” — Behren Morton Stuns at Summer Practice and Has Fans Talking Nonstop
Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton has officially set the tone for the 2025 season, and fans are buzzing. A recent clip from the Red Raiders’ summer practice went viral this week, showcasing Morton’s unmatched energy, fierce intensity, and complete command of the offense. From his confident presence in the huddle to his crisp throws in tight windows, Morton didn’t just look like a player in practice — he looked like a leader on a mission.
Observers on social media were quick to praise the junior QB for what many called his “alpha” performance. One comment summed it up best: “That’s what leadership looks like.” The viral moment came during a red zone drill, where Morton delivered back-to-back touchdown strikes, followed by animated encouragement of his teammates. He wasn’t just making throws — he was setting a standard.
Perhaps most impressively, Morton’s leadership isn’t just talk. His body language, communication with coaches, and ability to rally the offense showed why many now believe he’s ready to take full control of the team. As fans debate who will emerge as the face of the Red Raiders in 2025, Morton may have just made his strongest case yet.
Adding fuel to the buzz is the emergence of wide receiver Oweh, whose combination of speed, strength, and precision has turned heads all offseason. The chemistry between Morton and Oweh has become one of the biggest talking points among Texas Tech insiders. In fact, one sequence from practice — a perfectly timed back-shoulder throw from Morton to a tightly-covered Oweh — had teammates shouting and fans online declaring, “This duo’s going to be a problem.”
Oweh, who reportedly made the controversial decision to pull out of a potential NFL Super Bowl appearance with his prior team to prioritize his college development and health, is now being praised by Red Raiders fans for what they call a “career-defining pivot.” His return has been nothing short of dominant — and his intensity in practice reflects a player with something to prove.
For many, this sudden surge of momentum around Morton and Oweh signals a turning point for the Red Raiders. After years of inconsistency at the quarterback position, Morton’s command and Oweh’s star power have reignited belief that this team is ready to contend in a wide-open Big 12.
But with hype comes pressure. Fans are already calling this the most talented offensive unit Texas Tech has fielded in years — and with that comes the expectation to deliver now. Whether Morton becomes the team’s true alpha will be determined not just in summer practices, but when the lights come on this fall.
Still, one thing is clear: if this summer is any indication, Behren Morton isn’t just leading this team — he’s changing its identity.
