Yesterday, Willis told me that he is receiving interest from Ole Miss and a possible grayshirt offer could be issued. Additionally, Willis caught a 59-yard TD pass in the North-South Mississippi All-Star game on Saturday.

I cover the Meridian area, and I believe he is the second best player I've seen this year (behind 2016 commit Daniel Crowell).

When I first started covering the area in August, and I saw Willis in practice -- he's a legit 6-foot-3, ~180-pounds, and he ran a 4.52 at MSU camp in summer of 2014 -- the guy is fluid, bends at the waist with ease for a big player (think Brandon Marshall, obviously not as thick) and makes acrobatic catch after acrobatic catch.

I thought he was good but really only worthy of the of the offers he had -- ULM and La Tech; I thought he was not nearly physical enough for SEC football.

Then, prior to a game, his coach told me that he's only 16 and he won't turn 17 until graduation day. Then it all made sense why he's not that physical; he's still just a very young kid. I was thinking he was 18-years-old.

Very respectable, great kid, and his upside is legit SEC No. 1 WR potential, all IMO of course.

Just wanted to pass along.

I appreciate the analysis and the info. One of our mods crystal balled him to us about a week ago. I was thinking he would either e a sign and place or gray shirt. But good to know about his upside

What's the name of the kid from Madison Central that was supposed to be so good but then didn't get any offers?

Barnes maybe?

What's going on there? From his film, he looks a lot better than anyone else on the board.

Are his grades holding him back?
