SCOUT has Wills as a 1-star recruit and Rivals, at this time, has a no rating. There is a one inch height variance, but both services list him as 350 pounds. Last name is Wills.


Go Gophers!!
 

Not much on him.

He does have a youtube video that is pretty impressive. He is huge and very strong does look a bit slow but he is big.
 



Wow...this kid is absolutely HUGE!!!:eek:

I thought Edwards was big, but Wills looks like a mountain against everyone on that field!! His foot speed looks a little slow, although I don't know of too many guys that are that size that are fast.

He does appear to be really strong however and could be an absolute beast in the running game.

That YouTube video is IMPRESSIVE. Wow. No doubt why the Brew Crew offered him. I wonder what Rivals and Scout will rank him as...my guess, 3* 5.5 - would be higher but he's obviously a bit unknown.

I hope he is good enough to start at LT.

I would think that Carufel will be starting at LT next year. This guy has RT written all over him. I don't think that they are just going to give him an OL spot though. there will be a position battle next year at RT.

I'm also wondering if they are thinking about puting Campion at G? I could see this happening if Seantrel commits to the Gophs, but not if he goes elsewhere. I've never seen video of Campion, but can't you see him in the mold of Hutch (as I'm watching the vikes game)? 6'5" 300+ lbs guard!!!! when was the last time we had one of those?

I don't know much, but I know our OL is gonna be HUGE in a few years.
 

He's a true mauler. That is exactly what we need. Big, built, tall, explosive, and mature. He's not some freshman coming in here. He looks like a cornerstone RT for the next two years. Great find by Brew, boy this guy knows where to find tackles. Looks like a Bryant McKinnie clone almost, but a little less athletic. But any size is an upgrade, plus with Carufel, the three freshman coming in, and hopefully Seantral and the other in-state tackle (can't remember his name), our line will be set for three to four years in the future. The times are sure looking up
 



The best thing that I saw in this highlight video is the fact that after putting someone on their back or after finishing a block he was continually looking for someone else to go after and hit. Seems like he fits what Brewster is looking for in an offensive lineman. Big, strong, and with a mean streak. Granted this is just a highlight video but I like seeing a lineman put a guy on his back and want to do it again on the same play.
 

A 350lb guy getting to the second level and taking out 210lbs LB's downfield is super athletic and very fast for a lineman, much less one that big. Mark Hill will have him absolutely terrifying with diet/wieghts.
 

Speaking of getting downfield I'm kind of hoping that with the quality of linemen we are getting we can run a few successful screen plays next year to get pressure off of Weber.

I thought the same thing. He seemed very athletic.

Did you notice except for the last few shots, the RB never followed him? Here you got this big guy just plowing people out of the way and the running back isn't using his blocks at all.

I'm like, "wow, great blocking...where the hell is that back going?"
