Jaron Willis is one of the most versatile prospects in the country this cycle.
The 2022 Rivals250 outside linebacker from Leesburg (Ga.) Lee County is a monster on the defensive side of the ball, but he also happens to be a playmaker at running back for his high school team.
Willis has spent the offseason playing running back on the club 7-on-7 circuit for NFL quarterback Cam Newton and is hoping to get his shot on the offensive side of the ball in college.
“To be honest, I really want to play offense at the next level,” Willis said. “But I’m fine playing defense, too. I just want to get the opportunity to play offense and show my skillset. I feel like I can be a big back that can create mismatches.”
A couple of schools have talked to Willis about playing offense, but the majority of programs like him as a linebacker. Right now, Willis holds 20 offers and is simply taking everything in.
