C.E King Panthers #4 Keith Willis RB Sr 6’0 225 lbs
Keith Willis is one of the biggest high school running backs I’ve seen this season. Keith weighting at 225 I thought he would be more of a power back, but to my surprise, he excels with his speed and quickness. Keith Willis is nicknamed the “bulldozer” for a reason coming down with great speed and velocity destroying everything in his path. Keith is the cornerstone of the C.E. Kings’ offense and a big reason why they’re highly ranked in Texas.
