South Carolina's Emerging LB Force with Pro Pedigree
Lanell Willis, a hard-hitting linebacker for the South Carolina Gamecocks, brings NFL bloodlines as the son of ex-Vikings/Bills WR Lenny Willis (74 rec, 1,308 yds, 12 TDs career), fueling his intense, sideline-to-sideline play style; in the 2025 season, he's tallied 65 tackles, 8.5 sacks, and 2 INTs, ranking top-15 SEC in sacks per game. His differentiator? Relentless motor and football IQ that turns chaos into turnovers—perfect fit for aggressive defenses needing a tone-setter who thrives in big games.
