Kansas LB Darius Willis: productive, high-motor veteran with proven tackling instincts
Darius Willis is a proven Kansas linebacker with a resume built on production and reliability: in 2011, he started all 12 games and ranked 21st in the Big 12 with 81 tackles, while also finishing second on the team with 8.0 tackles for loss and adding a sack.
