Wills likely won’t commit until end of November

On July 29, 4-star offensive tackle Jedrick Wills tweeted to his followers that they should stay tuned to these next two weeks. SEC Country confirmed at the time that his announcement was for an upcoming commitment, and it was likely he was going to choose Alabama.

Fast forward almost three months and Wills is still uncommitted. The last time SEC Country got in touch with Lafayette High School (Lexington, Ky.) coach Eric Shaw he said a commitment could possibly come at the end of October. Now a decision is not likely until the end of November.

Wills is fresh off an official visit to Michigan a few weeks ago, and the Wolverines have some momentum. It’s the only official visit Wills has taken so far. An official visit to Alabama has not been scheduled at this time, but Shaw believes Wills is still interested in the Tide.

“I’m still sure Alabama is high on his list,” Shaw said.

Another source close to Wills’ recruitment believes Alabama is not going to be the school for the nation’s No. 10 offensive tackle because of the position the Tide want him to play. Alabama is recruiting him at guard, and Wills wants to play tackle in college.

One of the reasons why Alabama wants Wills to move inside on the offensive line is because it has two big-time tackle commits in 5-star talent Alex Leatherwood and the nation’s No. 1 overall junior college prospect Elliot Baker.

Shaw is unsure if Wills has an official visit to Tuscaloosa set, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see him on campus at least one more time before making a decision.

If Wills doesn’t end up at Alabama or Michigan, my pick is Notre Dame.
