Add a huge – literally huge – name to the visitors list. Lexington (Ky.) Lafayette four-star offensive tackle Jedrick Wills told Blue & Gold Illustrated on Sunday, that he will be in South Bend for the Irish Invasion on Friday.
Wills, who recently participated in the Rivals Five-Star Challenge Presented by Under Armour, is one of the top offensive line prospects in the class of 2017. The 6-5, 307-pound tackle holds offers from Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Kentucky, Louisville and Michigan State. He was offered by the Irish back on April 30 and his stock has continued to rise, especially after the Five-Star Challenge, where he was named a top underclassman performer after beating a number to top defensive ends.
"Despite being built more like an offensive guard, Wills dominated at right tackle thanks to spectacular footwork and a tenacity to keep rushers off balance," Rivals.com analyst @BlairAngulo said. "The massive 6-foot-5, 307-pound lineman was relentless against speed rushers and immovable against the bull rush, keeping his feet moving to form a solid base. Wills also extended his arms well to keep defenders from sliding inside and was often the aggressor."
