The Path to Norman
Wanya Morris started his college football journey at Tennessee. A former five star recruit out of Georgia, the lineman was part of the 2019 class. Morris was a stand out as a freshman, starting in 12 games. He was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team, a member of the 247Sports True Freshman All-America Team, and was named to The Athletic Midseason All-America Team. The following season was a solid follow up, as he started in another seven games. Shortly after the end of the 2020 season, Morris put his name in the portal as part of the mass exodus from Tennessee. After a short courting period and a visit to Norman, Wanya announced his plans to be a Sooner.

Career so Far
Many expected Morris to immediately compete for the starting job when he arrived in Norman; he ended up playing in only six games in 2021, working as a backup at tackle.

Highlights
This Season
TFB has repeatedly reported that Morris has enjoyed an excellent offseason, refocusing and working hard. Morris had a great discussion with some very candid thoughts about his time in Norman on and off the field, which James Hale wrote about here:
Wanya is fully expected to start at right tackle this season, opposite Anton Harrison at left tackle, with Savion Byrd and Aaryn Parks providing depth. Look for a big season from Wanya Morris in 2022.
