One of the more important puzzle pieces of Oklahoma’s 2021 season may have just popped up in the transfer portal.
The Sooners offensive line wasn’t up to their normal level again in 2020, making two years since the Oklahoma offensive line has been churning at a high level. Offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh rotated Erik Swenson and Anton Harrison at left tackle, but the overall group just never hit its stride until the Cotton Bowl.
The reasoning for that is still a little foggy, but with Adrian Ealy’s departure to the NFL, at least one of the tackle spots remains a huge question mark. So, why not a huge person to be the answer?
Former five-star offensive tackle Wanya Morris has entered the transfer portal, and per multiple reports as well as Sooners Wire own confirmation, Oklahoma is going to be involved in this transfer heavily.
Tennessee offensive tackle Wanya Morris is the the transfer portal, @247Sports has learned. Former five-star recruit. https://t.co/ZtGYMRV8Kg

Morris, a Loganville, Goergia, native, was a former five-star recruit on 247Sports and a four-star prospect on Rivals. He’s listed at 6 foot 5, 320 pounds on Tennessee’s roster for this season.
If Oklahoma were to land Morris, Harrison could move back to maybe his more natural position at right tackle and the Sooners would pair two bookend tackles that are as athletic as any tackles in the country. The interior offensive line would then become the focus and a battle between Tyrese Robinson, Chris Murray and Andrew Raym for the center and right guard positions.
Now that Morris is officially in the transfer portal, schools can begin to contact him.
