Jim Knowles has made big strides with the Cowboys’ defense the past three seasons, and it’s evident in the type of recruits considering Oklahoma State.
Class of 2022 four-star linebacker Jaron Willis included OSU in his top 10 Saturday along with LSU, Florida, Georgia Tech, Tennessee, Nebraska, Florida State, Ole Miss, Auburn and South Carolina.
Who Is He?
Willis is a 6-foot-2, 220-pound outside linebacker from Lee County High School in Leesburg, Georgia.
Although he is listed as an outside backer, he is one of those new-aged defenders that Knowles has been able to develop. He can also play safety, come off the edge and there is even some film of him essentially playing a nickel corner.
