Gerald Willis wins Outland Trophy player of the month

[JgDaCane]

Our d-line is really not that far off Clemson in terms of draftable talent. Willis, Joe Jack, & Garvin all could be first rounders. 2nd rounders at worse. I really hope we win our side because I think we will be giving them a much much better game then last year.

 

[mirvin88]

Crazy he hasnt played what feels like years and he's gonna **** around and get drafted in the 1st

 

[supersaiyanshel]

Him and JT4 are two of the best players we've had in a long, long time.

Niether from the state of Miami. BUT --

They both got that State of Miami mentality. Important.

 

[jkaz1]

If he keeps playing the way he has been, he'll definitely go in the 1st.

1st Round talent?

 

[Coach Macho]

Unblockable stud.

 

[ebfinest]

He is a f'ing treat to watch. He just throws people out of the way. He's going to be spending more time with the Frency than Taggart tomorrow.

 

[CaneSince4Ever]

Best interior play I've seen since Sapp.

 

[canecrazy23]

Absolutely! At least a late 1st round draft selection.

Vita Veta from Washington went 12 and Darone Payne from Bama went 13 and Willis is as good as both IMO.

 

[RangerGranger]

Frightening.

You should see what he said back

 

[SinCityCane]

Willis might have been a bigger factor in Norton & Mac leaving early than people think. They knew. He was unblockable on the scout team last year.

 

[motorcitycane]

Scouts have already said he’s playing into the first round. Recognition couldn’t come to a better person.

 

[ThomasM]

Playing like a first rounder. Happy for him

He's playing like an NFL player against college competition.

 

[ThomasM]

5th year dudes like him playing like a man are why Bama has been so dominant.

Hopefully our d-lineman figure this out w/Norton/McIntosh as the cautionary tail.

Most guys don't stick around for year 5, but this is an example of why they should.

 

[jkaz1]

Depends on the player.

Miami has had lots leave early that should have left early. Like half the team between 2000 - 2002.

Willis may have been as dominant last year - we don't know because he didn't play.

Either way, as long as he stays healthy, he'll probably be getting a 1st round paycheck soon enough.

Most guys don't stick around for year 5, but this is an example of why they should.

 

[The Franchise]

Next time one of you lame simps says “_____ should leave early because he is who he is; he won’t get any bigger or faster as a senior” find a sturdy door handle and a strong belt.

 

[FrankSmokesDank]

before the season, I DM'ed him on Insta telling him the fanbase had his back.

The guy delivered.

This just gave me 2nd hand embarrassment. Corny as all ****.

 

[kryptonite]

Was that a thing before this month? I'm totally cool with them making up a monthly award because they couldn't wait until the end of the season to give Willis the outland, but I've never heard of this award before.

 

[kryptonite]

5th year dudes like him playing like a man are why Bama has been so dominant.

Hopefully our d-lineman figure this out w/Norton/McIntosh as the cautionary tail.

Getting 90% of the 5* kids helps too.

 

[John77]

Saw on twitter recently that a draft analyst from The Draft Network had him rated as the 11th best player on his big board. I was stunned that he had him ranked above Wilkins from Clemson. I hope Willis continues to dominates. His story is a special one.

@SleepOnIt is gonna take a major L for continuing to say this guy is not a top 3 round pick as recently as last week...

Dude is a first round pick barring injury.

Barring injury and *the interviews at the combine*. Those in combination with his play on the field he'll be a top 32 pick.
