Defensive end Brandon Willis of Duncan, S.C., ranks Georgia third behind Florida State and Clemson after the Bulldogs made an early offer at the “Dawg Night” prospect camp last weekend.

“I like a lot of things about Georgia. If I come here, I feel like I’ll have a good chance of playing early because of the depth chart,” said Willis, who is a rising junior at Byrnes High, the defending Class AAAA champions.

8/8

From the SCPrep site. Corey Miller, Brandon Willis and Marcus Lattimore all went to Tennesse last week and came back with offers.

15. Brandon Willis
6'4" / 260 pounds / Defensive Tackle / Byrnes High School / Duncan, South Carolina
Contenders: Florida State, Georgia, Clemson, South Carolina, Tennessee
Scouting Report: One of the less hyped elite juniors in the country. Willis is a relentless and productive pass rusher, but also shows great discipline and instincts against the run. His pop off the ball is on an elite level, Willis just makes a lot of plays against great competition. Has the frame built to excel as a three-shade tackle, but can slide over to strongside end as well. Plays along the same line as Corey Miller and some other good players, so Willis doesn't have to see the constant double teams that some other guys do. Explosion and versatility are what truly define his value. Has the cliched non-stop motor that allows him to be a true three-down defensive lineman, and increases his value as such. Has that Justin Tuck-esque versatility that programs are increasingly looking for.

DL Brandon Willis (6-4 250) of Byrnes is racking up offers early with nine so far. He has offers from Clemson, USC, North Carolina, FSU, California, Texas A&M, Georgia, Tennessee, and LSU. Willis is also getting interest from Florida, UCLA, Florida, and Alabama. He visited FSU's junior day this past weekend and had a great time. "I met with my positions coach, Odell Hagan, and we just talked about life," said Willis. "He was asking me about things and making sure I've made the right choices. It was cool." He will visit Clemson for junir day on February 21st. WIllis says his top five are FSU, UNC, California, LSU, and UGA. "Those are the schools showing me the most interest but I'm pretty wide open right now. Any school interesting in me has my interest," he said. Willis had 144 tackles, 13 sacks, 24 tackles for loss, and 34 quarterback hurries last season.

He looks like a MAN in his Rivals picture. Not the one you posted, but the one on his actual profile.

quote doesn't quite make sense without the second teammate's info alongside it.

It's stunning sometimes to realize how little we know. This caught me completely unaware. Didn't even know we were talking to the guy.

"In a couple of weeks I am going to California," he said. "I think I am going to visit Cal and UCLA. I may just visit Cal though. I know I am going to Florida State. I might be going up to North Carolina at some point. This Sunday I am going to Tennessee and will attend their camp."

"Right now I would say the schools coming at me the hardest are Florida State, Cal, Florida, USC, Tennessee, LSU and UCLA," Willis said. "Those are really the ones that are recruiting me the most."

Per Scout... He will be at camp next week. Hopefully, he's bringing Miller and Lattimore with him...

Willis, the No. 46 prospect in the country, also has Florida State high on his list, just behind Florida. Sources say the Gators currently lead for Willis, followed closely by the Seminoles. UCLA, Tennessee and North Carolina round out his top five. Defensive line coaches John Blake of North Carolina and Ed Orgeron of Tennessee have made Willis and Miller two of their top priorities. Willis hopes to visit North Carolina, FSU and Tennessee this summer.

DT Brandon Willis &#8211; The Gators lead for this one right now. This one will actually be interesting to watch over the summer. He will attend camp at USC and wants a USC offer, he will also visit a couple of other schools in California. At a high school in Duncan (SC) Byrnes that once sent everyone to Clemson,the kids there are used to winning and looking to go to programs where they can do that. Willis is one of those prospects.



I think if the Gators really try and pull Willis they will get him, but if he isn't willing to make an early decision, it may not happen. One thing that is good about Willis is the fact he is a tweener strong side end and defensive tackle, and the Gators love to utilize those like Dunlap and Trattou already on the roster. If the Gators will wait I think he would be Gator,i don't think that will happen, and I am not sure USC will have room. I will say he will end up at FSU, even though there is absolutely nothing pointing that direction at this time.

&#8220;Two weeks ago I was at Tennessee, Corey Miller and I did two sessions of the lineman camp there,&#8221; Willis said. &#8220;I learned a lot from Coach Orgeron and Monte Kiffin about my technique. They liked that I have a big motor and come off the ball and had good technique. They like my drive off the ball.&#8221;

&#8220;I think I will be a defensive end, but it doesn't matter to me, whatever the need is when I get (to college),&#8221; he said. &#8220;Tennessee was telling me defensive end.&#8221;

Per Scout... Willis plans on narrowing his list down to 5 schools next week. We have a legit shot to land him, I think we are in his top 2 but trail FSU...
