Coming into this season, I had Gavin Willis Gavin Willis 6'0" | 205 lbs | LB Ballard | 2023 State KY on my radar but he blew away his expectations and shot up our rankings quickly. He had an outstanding senior year, finishing with 189 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, six sacks, one forced fumble, and three fumble recoveries. Willis showed a ton of versatility this season, showing the ability to play inside linebacker and off the edge as an outside linebacker. Against the run, he does a great job of reading his keys and coming downhill in a hurry. He bursts through the gap and meets the running back before the offensive line can react. Willis also has shown the ability to run all over the field to make tackles in the open field. As a pass rusher off the edge, Willis is able to use his speed to blow by opposing offensive tackles. He also showed that he is reliable in pass coverage, finishing the year with an interception. Gavin is committed to Bucknell where I see him developing into a very productive player at the next level.
