Ba’roc Willis is one of the top prospects of the 2027 national class, and rightfully so. What Willis was able to do in his first year starting at Moody last fall was incredible and he’s only going to get better. Willis is a force on their defensive front and can wreak havoc against opposing offenses’ rushing and passing attacks. It’s extremely impressive watching him play- against the run he does a terrific job setting the edge, not letting the ball carrier break to the outside, and has some great pursuit that allows him to make tackles all around the field. Willis is a fantastic pass rusher as well- as a freshman, he already has a wide variety of moves he uses to beat offensive linemen, and when he does he frequently generates pressure and places big hits on the quarterback. Last fall was a terrific first year starting for Willis, he ended the season with 79 total tackles (14.5 for loss), 9 sacks, and 20 hurries. With how well he played, he picked up a ton of collegiate attention from tons of top-tier programs. This last week, however, Willis closed his recruitment and committed to Alabama! Keep an eye out for him not just this year, but in the future as well- he’s a heck of a prospect who is bound to make plenty more plays this fall!

Willis overall instincts/awareness are where they should given his experience; patiently reads keys and doesn’t take many false steps. Shows the technique and quickness to work through congestion between the tackles. Gets good extension to play off of blocks, with adequate functional strength; tends to work around if possible but is willing to step into the hole and take on a block if needed. Good athlete who’s capable of pursuing out toward the sidelines. Looks comfortable dropping into zone coverage with clean footwork/balance; gets enough depth to keep the play in front of him. Quickly sniffs out screens and swing passes developing.
