Jackson Wills | Running Back | 2027 Impressed by the power and confidence out of Wills in Nashville. His stature and explosiveness stood out amongst the group. His ability to get there and pick up yardage was impressive in itself. His size paired with his explosion will be key when breaking tackles and making plays.  His progression not only physically but mentally will be imperative in his development as a running back in this field.
