Signed December 16th, 2020 (at St. Frances Academy, Maryland)

Fit- A downhill force that is cerebral in his movements and finishes strong at the point of the attack. Runs sideline to sideline effectively, and should plug and play early for Tennessee. He has said, "they are getting a captain. As soon as I get there, I will be excited and be about the team. All in it. On the field, they are getting an animal. You can watch the tape, ask around, ask anybody that has ever seen me play. They will tell you how I play aggressive and different on the field."

Impact Assessment- Willis projects as an immediate impact player for Tennessee. He fits in any defense given his sideline to sideline striking ability. Quavaris Crouch and Henry To'o To'o's futures are in doubt with both in the transfer portal. Willis would have found time on the field with both players there. If one or both depart, Willis is a shoo-in to play from day one.
