Draft Profile: Bio
Wanya Morris from Grayson High School was rated a 5-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 5-star grade by 247 Sports. Following high school, Morris opted to join Tennessee.In 2019 as a freshman Morris saw action in 13 games and played a total of 643 snaps for the Volunteers. He allowed 11 QB hurries, 9 QB hits, and 5 sacks while playing most of his snaps at left tackle.
As a sophomore in 2020 he played in 9 games and a total of 398 snaps. He conceded 7 QB hurries, 2 QB hits, and 2 sacks while playing most of his snaps at left tackle.
After the end of the season Morris transferred to Oklahoma where as a junior Morris saw action in 6 games and totaled 126 snaps. He gave up just one QB hurry, no QB hits, and 2 sacks while playing the majority of his snaps at left tackle, and the rest at tight tackle.
In 2022 as a senior Morris saw action in 9 games and played a total of 580 snaps for the Sooners. He allowed 4 QB hurries, 2 QB hits, and 2 sacks while playing at right tackle.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Morris will have a chance to develop as a right tackle or possibly inside at guard, where Morris could be an interesting prospect for a zone-blocking team. If nothing else, that versatility is enough to make him at least a quality reserve.
- He is a work in progress with high-end physical traits. He’s extremely light on his feet for a 300-pounder, a natural knee bender who plays with balance and leverage.
- He thrives on physicality, often out-grappling bigger defensive linemen and winning in the phone booth with tenacity and upper-body strength.
- He flashes power and nastiness in the run game, able to win at the point of attack and athletic enough to get out as a pulling blocker before landing blocks on the move at the second level.
- Understands angles and plays with good leverage. Morris has long arms and heavy hands, using them effectively in pass protection, and he has a strong enough initial punch to get an edge on quick sets.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- For all of his physical gifts, often gets sloppy, especially in pass protection.
- Had issues against quality counter moves, struggling to readjust. That’s something he’ll see frequently against NFL technicians in the pass rush.
- Sometimes struggle to recalibrate at the second level against moving bodies.
- Is a little too much of a waist bender, and Morris doesn’t play with ideal power and functional strength. Most concerning - he often gets caught dropping his head, a bad habit that will have to be corrected.
