Willis, a 6-foot-4 sophomore from Overland Park, played in seven games for KU with two starts last season, completing 62 percent of his passes for 811 yards with three touchdowns and seven interceptions.
As a transfer who has not graduated, Willis will have to sit out a year of competition, although he’ll be able to practice with Virginia Tech this year and can use it as a redshirt season, with two years to play starting in 2018.
AJ Bush, who transferred last week was recently at Nebraska and Iowa Western Community College will join Willis as a transfer-commit for the Hokies.
