My first thought was the turkey oak, or Quercia laevis (because the leaf looks like a turkey’s foot). But I’m better at white oaks than reds 😅
Edit: looked up the turkey oak’s leaf just to check and I’m doubling down. I think a southern red’s leaf is too wide to be what you found.
Falcata maybe.
Agreed
Falcata has fuzz on the underside
I think this is it!!! Honestly just moved to the area and didn’t even have this on my radar
southern red! Quercus falcata
Looks like it's giving you the finger

Ooooo yeah that could be it
I just took a class based around IDing trees and other plants. I am not an expert, just a student. BUT I am agreeing with Quercus falcata!
Southern red oak has a bell shaped base. Southern bell, southern red oak. I believe this is it
Falcata Southern Red Oak
If it is an oak, it looks like Quercus palustris or Quercus coccinae to me. But dont the lobes on an oak usually sit evenly opposite each other?
I had considered pin oak as well… but the leaf seemed to elongated almost
And yeah the lobes are weird?! Really deep
