Wills is a solid two-way player who I first noticed at the Mission Viejo passing tournament last summer. His quarterback Malachi Nelson Malachi Nelson 6'3" | 195 lbs | QB Los Alamitos | 2023 State CA had high praise for Wills after the event and Tweeted that he was deserving of offers.
He caught 27 passes for 554 yards and four touchdowns last season. He had eight pass deflections with a forced fumble and fumble recovery on defense.
Wills had an offer from Benedictine College. He is the third player from California in Penn’s 2022 recruiting class, joining Patrick Hawkins Patrick Hawkins 6'5" | 230 lbs | TE Foothill | 2022 State CA of Foothill and Chase Meyer of Mater Dei.

Oaks Christian rising offensive lineman Luke Baklenko Luke Baklenko 6'7" | 300 lbs | OL Oaks Christian | 2023 State CA was offered by Boston College on Tuesday.
The 6-foot-6, 290 pound tackle is now up to seven offers with BYU offering him last week.
Boston College joins Arizona, BYU, Colorado, San Diego State, UCLA and Washington State in offering Baklenko and other schools are showing interest. He told Brandon Huffman of 247Sports that Oregon State, Oregon, Kansas State, Brown, Wyoming, Cal and Rice, Boise State and Baylor have also been talking to him.
Baklenko gets up the field well on running plays and screens and uses his strength to bully people, within the rules. His footwork is solid in pass protection.
After a great conversation with @Coach_Guge I am very grateful to be offered by @BCFootball 🦅@TemLuke_Abu @CoachSHuggins #GetIn #ForBoston
Back to work!

Mater Dei class of 2024 offensive lineman Brandon Baker Brandon Baker 6'5" | 290 lbs | OL Mater Dei | 2024 State CA picked up an offer from Tennessee on Tuesday.
Baker’s stock is rising after a very strong showing at the Giant Skillz National Showcase two weeks ago. Tennessee is the third school to offer Baker joining Michigan and Fresno State.
He is a big body at 6-foot-5 and 290 pounds which he carries well. He played left guard at Mater Dei last season but I can easily see him sliding over to right tackle.
