Willis was the dominant player that Miami Hurricanes Head Coach Mark Richt and Defensive Coordinator Manny Diaz predicated that he would be this season. He is tied for third nationally and leads the ACC with an average of 2.1 tackles for loss per game.
Willis is on pace to shatter Calais’ Campbell’s program record for TFLs in a season. Campbell recorded 20.5 in 2006. Records on TFLs go back only as far as 2005.
At his current pace, Willis is on pace to record between 25 and 25.5 TFLs in 12 regular season games.
