Nothing like a good ol’ fashioned Big 12 battle.
No, not Texas and Texas A&M.
Former top offensive tackle recruit Wanya Morris entered the transfer portal. He signed with Tennessee in the 2019 recruiting class before starting in 12 games as a true freshman. In 2020, things didn’t go as smoothly despite being a preseason first-team All-SEC selection.
Prior to Morris entering, Sooners Wire was able to confirm Oklahoma was going to have serious interest in the top transfer. He then released a top-three late Friday that included the Sooners, Texas A&M and USC.

After he entered the portal, there was serious conversation around Morris that Oklahoma was the likely destination, even to the point that multiple people reached out to Sooners Wire from the recruiting world to let us know that the Sooners would be the choice.
The Loganville, Georgia, native was originally committed to Jimbo Fisher at Florida State, which is why the Aggies made his final three. As of Sunday morning, this is now a serious battle between former Big 12 foes in Oklahoma and Texas A&M.
If Morris were to choose the Sooners, Oklahoma would become a sure-fire national championship contender as he would likely enter the starting lineup at tackle and ease some of the concerns the Sooners have there. Oklahoma lost Adrian Ealy to the NFL draft and Lincoln Riley rotated Anton Harrison and Erik Swenson at left tackle.
