Reggie Willis brings UAB a power-back spark with early-season opportunity
Reggie Willis enters 2026 at UAB as a running back to watch because the Blazers are leaning on the ground game early, with the team producing 460 rushing yards and 2 rushing touchdowns through its first two games of the 2026 season. He fits the profile of a back who can earn touches by staying physical, protecting the football, and helping stabilize an offense that has been more run-balanced than explosive. The key question is ceiling: if he can separate in a crowded backfield, his toughness and reliability could make him a useful piece for a team that values steady, hard-nosed backs.
