Expert Analysis

Rob Howe

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Willey is a guy that’s stood out whenever I’ve scouted City High the last few years. He makes up for the lack of cookie-cutter physical traits as a lineman by being a relentless competitor. That was the case when scouting him against Norwalk during Week 5 of the 2025 season. Willey lined up at right guard on offense and shifted around on the defensive front. He uses quickness and technique to his advantage against larger opponents. Willey probably fits best as a D-Lineman on the next level. There’s room for physical development and adding strength that can pair nicely with the high tempo at which he operates.

Read Evaluation

Rob Howe

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Willey was a key member of a salty City High defense that led the Little Hawks to the playoffs again in 2024. On his Hudl page, he lists his squat at 435 pounds, his bench at 315 and his clean at 265. He employs that strength on the gridiron, where he recorded 33.0 tackles. Twenty two of his stops were solo. Willey delivered 9.0 tackles for loss and a pair of sacks, too. When you watch his junior highlight video, you will see a disruptor whether he’s lining up at tackle or off the edge. Willey uses his speed and athleticism to his advantage against slower offensive linemen with a burst that gets him to the ball in a hurry.
