Willis is a big, athletic DB who may eventually grow into a LB at the next level. He made a name for himself at the Semper Fi underclassmen combine earlier this month, where he posted that 4.56 forty time.

He was an honorable mention All-State selection as a junior after registering 52 tackles and 2 INTs from his CB spot. He also qualified for the state track meet in both long jump and triple jump as a sophomore.
 
Willis now has offers from half of the PAC-12. I think he is a dynamite prospect and hope we offer soon.
 
Heading to the USC junior day this weekend after receiving an offer from them this week. The Trojans are likely in the lead here.

Right now, it's pretty much watching USC pick its 15 and then everyone recruits whomever's left.

Enjoy it while it lasts, Troy. Buffs are coming for you.

Thats the spirit! CU has way more to offer than USC!
 
Priest Willis, 6-2/200, DB, 4/92/No. 165

Husker head coach Bo Pelini personally reached out to the Tempe (Ariz.) Marcos De Niza speedster.
“He said ‘Man, I’ve seen your film, so it’s a no brainer that I need to offer you,’” Willis said. “He liked how big and how physical I was and how fast I run to the ball. He thinks I could be a big contributor to the football team.”
Tough get, this kid, who already has offers to USC, UCLA and Washington, among others. But Willis likes Nebraska, in part because his uncle played there. Who is it? Toby Wright.

We have now offered. Willis is a stud and still underrated at #84 nationally IMO.
 
Ugh. Frustrating seeing a school like Virginia in there for a kid from AZ and we aren't cracking it. This has got to improve...

Maybe he was just thinking that cvillebuff is super awesome and I gotta get to school near him even if it does mean not going to Colorado.

As you know, Charlottesville is awesome. I doubt they sign him, but there'd be no shame in losing out to them. I literally have nothing negative to say about UVA.

Other than how they consistently punch below their weight in most sports?

Agreed. They really don't care about high level sports, but still a great university in a terrific college town. Increasingly, my heart says dear ole CU can be Wisconsin, but increasingly my head says UVA.

My main concern is losing a kid from a state we should be hitting, potentially to a school like UVA 2,000 miles away
