The Alabama Crimson Tide coaching staff was able to secure its first commitment from a 2027 recruit on Monday morning. ’27 edge rusher Ba’Roc Willis committed to the Crimson Tide over the Auburn Tigers, LSU Tigers, and Tennessee Volunteers.
Willis has been to Tuscaloosa several times. He was most recently in town for the end of summer cookout on Sunday. Willis and many other recruits were on campus for the final time before football season kicks off on August 31.
Unlike most of the recruits that were on campus, Willis was one of the few that was a ’27 recruit. The product of Moody High School (AL) has already burst onto the scene at the high school level. During his freshman season, Willis tallied 79 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss, and nine sacks.
Willis will only continue to improve as his high school career unfolds. The Alabama native is currently listed at 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds. He already has the prototypical size to play outside linebacker at the college level. The Alabama coaching staff is pleased with Willis’ performance on the field up to this point. The fact that they gave Willis the green light to commit should speak volumes to the caliber player that Willis is at this stage in his football career.
