The final puzzle piece for Oklahoma’s 2021 national championship run may have been found.

The Sooners lost Adrian Ealy to the NFL, who started at right tackle for the last two season. Lincoln Riley rotated true freshman Anton Harrison with Erik Swenson at left tackle to try and find the right groove.

Offensive tackle was a major question mark for Oklahoma with the best roster it has had for a championship run in a long time. The answer, though, was in the heart of Georgia.

As the turmoil at Tennessee ramped up, players have begun to start to exit. One of those was former top recruit Wanya Morris, an offensive tackle who made the SEC All-Freshman team and was a preseason SEC First-Team selection ahead of 2020.

He entered the transfer portal and now he’s heading to Oklahoma, as Morris announced his intentions to transfer to the Sooners on Monday. It’s an absolute game-changer for offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh.

This should allow Oklahoma to reset its offensive line and move some pieces around. The Sooners get Marquis Hayes and Tyrese Robinson back as well as have some important pieces who got playing time in Chris Murray and Andrew Raym on the interior. Then Anton Harrison and Erik Swenson return with Stacey Wilkins looking to make a leap at the other tackle spot.
