Willis played high school football at Roswell (Georgia) in the Atlanta area. He was a 3-star ATH prospect on Rivals in the 2021 recruiting class, but instead landed at Northeast Georgia Prep, per The Rebel Walk.
Coahoma’s roster lists Willis as measuring 6-3, 218 pounds. As a freshman, he had 20 catches for 281 yards and 4 touchdowns in the 2022 season. On Oct. 22, Willis played quarterback against Northeast Mississippi CC, going 14-of-22 passing for 160 yards, 2 touchdowns and 4 interceptions.
Rivals and The Rebel Walk report that Willis will remain at Coahoma this fall and join the Rebels after the semester. Ole Miss fans can get a preview of what Willis brings to Oxford by checking out his freshman highlights below, via Hudl:
