Wanya Jacques-Keyshawn Morris (born October 10, 2000) is an American professional football offensive tackle for the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Tennessee Volunteers and Oklahoma Sooners.

Early life Morris was named for the singer bearing the same name. He attended Grayson High School in Grayson, Georgia and was a highly-regarded offensive lineman, being ranked a consensus five-star recruit and receiving attention from nearly every school nationally. Several agencies ranked him among the top-50 recruits nationally. Morris initially committed to Florida State, but then de-committed and switched to Tennessee.

College career As a true freshman in 2019, Morris started 12 of 13 games for Tennessee at left tackle, earning freshman All-SEC as well as freshman All-America honors. The following year, he posted seven starts, appearing in a further two games, out of 10. After coach Jeremy Pruitt was fired prior to the 2021 season, Morris transferred to Oklahoma. In his first year with the team, he appeared in just six games with no starts, playing only as a backup.

Morris appeared in nine games as a senior in 2022, starting eight and helping lead an offensive line that allowed Eric Gray to run for 1,364 yards and Dillon Gabriel to throw for 2,925 yards with 24 touchdowns. Although he missed two games due to a suspension and one for unspecified reasons, he was able to earn second-team All-Big 12 honors for his play. After the regular season, Morris opted to skip the team's bowl game and declare for the NFL draft.
