I guess you mean his potential rating. I doubt growing 1" affects how well he performs in the future.

Every program in the SEC lies about how tall their LB's are anyway. Georgia lists Monty Rice at 6'1". There is no damn way.

It does....
More height means you can see more of the play develop. React quicker.
It seems silly, but it matters.

Frame: Compact build with muscle definition in the upper and lower extremities. Room to add mass as needed.

Athleticism: Quicker than fast with tangible closing speed and pop on contact. Closes distance between he and assignment well from depth and in tight quarters. Runs with lean and as much flash as any downhill prospect in the 2021 recruiting cycle.

Instincts: Lives in the backfield off of aggression and quickness off the ball. Anticipates well off the line as well as during any pre-snap movement situation. Some control leads to samples of lateral ability and consistency against national schedule and high level competition.

Polish: Accelerated play diagnostics and a quick trigger combines for flash plays from multiple positions. Times blitzes incredibly well and can make plays through contact with natural leverage and explosive ability. Tools to hold own in coverage with enough quickness to combat a running back or tight end. Room to improve extension and hand usage against blockers.

Bottom Line: Willis has head-turning striking ability as an ultra-aggressive second level prospect. The compact frame could limit the amount of time he spends as a true edge prospect at the next level but the short-area power and comfort playing in space could eventually help him develop into three-down territory in college. At a minimum, he has special teams ace traits to his name.

Wow!!!!! Huge! Hope he sets records at his new school. Might be my fav recruit this cycle. Reasons are.. the pipeline to that school, plus he reminds me a small amount of Thompson in the mid to late 90’s. Maybe not how they play really, but just a head hunter.
Teams we play, regardless of conference, will stop trying after a few face shots. Willis is capable of doing such things!

A lot of teeth gnashing over Terrance Williams Lewis and the Miami threat in his thread, kinda makes you forget how lucky we are this playmaker is coming. He is always ALL Vol on the twitter machine. Just another low key SFA kid not getting consumed with the recruiting “process.” Love that we’re building a pipeline there
