Connor Wills brings old-school linebacker grit to Idaho State
Connor Wills has long been a productive, physical linebacker for Idaho State, with a notable early-college résumé that included 30 tackles, a forced fumble, and a pass breakup in his spring 2021 season, plus a reputation as a downhill tackler from his Rexburg roots[3]. He looks like the kind of fit teams love: instinctive, tough, and willing to do the unglamorous work in traffic, with enough pop to create turnovers and enough football IQ to stay in the right place. Publicly available current-season stat detail is limited, so the best read is that he remains a proven, reliable defensive presence rather than a flashy stat-sheet hunter[1][6].
