I got to speak to him in Mobile, and Willis says his passion for football was instilled in him by his older sister. The two played together in high school, where his sister was a guard and linebacker as an underclassman, before retiring to become the stadium announcer.

Willis lacks ideal size and power, but he’s passionate about the game and punches above his weight class. He flashes best in the run game, especially on the move, and has demonstrated an ability to seal off run lanes in the Big 10 against tough competition. How he is able to handle power rushers in pass protection will determine how long he can stick in the NFL, but as a late Day 3 prospect, I like his upside for relatively little cost. He reminds me a lot of one of my original Gems list entrants, Tanor Bortolini, who just had a breakout season with the Colts in 2025.

What do you think of these interior offensive lineman prospects? Would you like the Steelers to draft any of them? Who was your favorite? Did I leave one of your favorites out? Let us know in the comments!
