The Tigers want Willis to stay at the quarterback position. The Hokies were likely going to have Willis play on defense.
Willis played in the 7-A Georgia state championship game with the Hornets against the Grayson Rams earlier in December. The Rams beat the Hornets in overtime, but Willis has 19 completions on 30 attempts for 261 yards and two touchdowns. It included a 20-yard touchdown pass on the final play of regulation to send the game to overtime.
Willis is a 3-star athlete, according to Rivals. He is the Tigers' only committed high school quarterback.
