Georgia is only going to take one or two OTs and at the moment they have other OTs higher on their board. In addition, Morris has already been recruited over with the recent verbal commit of 2020 OT Broderick Jones. Morris is not going to pick UGA today. I doubt he has a committable offer. Auburn is the team to worry about with Morris, especially if Pappoe commits to them.

UGA fans are going to be miserable to deal with if they are already at the point where they think they have "recruit over" or have not extended a "committable offer" to a consensus top 50 recruit, at one of the most prized positions no less. That's just comical.

Wanya Morris, one of Tennessee’s top targets in the 2019 class, now is just hours away from announcing his college decision. The four-star junior offensive tackle from Grayson High School in Loganville, Ga., is planning to make his choice known Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. Eastern time during a ceremony just outside Atlanta’s SunTrust Park. The 6-foot-5.5, 293-pound Morris, who's ranked the nation’s No. 46 overall prospect and No. 7 offensive tackle in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite for the 2019 class, is expected to choose between Tennessee and Auburn, the two finalists he named last month.

By all indications, Tennessee is the favorite to land Morris coming off his official visit with the Vols the weekend of April 21 for their spring-ending Orange and White Game. It was his third trip to Knoxville this year, and sources have indicated since then that the momentum has swung back toward Tennessee in what has been a back-and-forth battle between the Vols and Auburn over the past few weeks. Morris originally committed to Florida State in April 2017 before reopening his recruitment in late November.

He joined Pappoe and several of his Grayson teammates in returning to Tennessee in January for the first time since coach Jeremy Pruitt’s hiring, and the Vols made a strong impression on Morris. He immediately felt comfortable with their new staff, which includes safeties coach Charles Kelly — the former Florida State defensive coordinator — and Tino Sunseri, a former member of the Seminoles’ staff, as one of Tennessee’s quality control analysts. Morris and Pappoe made the trip to Knoxville again the weekend of March 3 for an overnight stay that allowed them to attend the Vols’ latest junior day.

Several members of Tennessee’s staff, including Pruitt, Friend and Sunseri, have strong relationships with Morris, and he admitted to GoVols247 last month that he’s intrigued by the idea of getting in on the ground floor of the Vols’ rebuilding program. He said their new staff also seems “way more focused” on helping Tennessee turn things around under Pruitt. The Vols’ coaches have made it clear to Morris that they have a glaring need on the offensive line, particularly at offensive tackle, and he could compete for early playing time there next year, although he has said in recent weeks that he sees similar opportunities for playing time at both Tennessee and Auburn.

While the Vols have been widely viewed as the favorites to land Morris for most of the past few weeks, there have been some twists and turns along the way. He and his mother quietly made a midweek visit to Auburn two weeks ago, just before his official visit to Tennessee, and sources indicated coming off his latest visit with the Tigers that they were in the driver’s seat to land him.

But the momentum recently has shifted back toward the Vols, with the help of his official visit to Knoxville less than two weeks ago. And all signs now point toward Tennessee taking a big step toward addressing its need on the offensive line and Morris giving the Vols a potential centerpiece for their 2019 recruiting class.

Smith can play any OG or OT position for us and be very good. IMO, he’s truly elite at LG.

Where he plays for us ultimately just comes down to where the coaches think he gives us the most utility. Until fall rolls around and we know who’s healthy, it’s hard to guess where that will be. Strong arguments can be made for LG, RT, and LT.

ESPN is actually pretty good at ranking recruits IMO

They’re all pretty hit or miss in their own ways, IMO.



247’s ranking of kids all the way up to 99 is misleading at best. ESPN always lists something like 400-500 kids as 4* recruits to help their average. Other services overrepresent the kids who visit their camps.


I do think the backlash against ESPN over Kmack being a top 30 instead of a top 10 player was dumb AF though.

247 has him listed as the 7th best OT in the 2019 class.

You mean to tell me there’s 6 OTs better than Morris besides maybe Darnell Wright?
