Willis Set to Announce Tuesday

Bloomington, Ind. - The top running back in the state of Indiana will bring his recruiting saga to close Tuesday.

Darius Willis, the 6-0, 215-pound running back from Indianapolis’ Franklin Central H.S. has scheduled a 3p.m. press conference at the high school to announce his college decision.

The timing of Willis’ announcement could be good news for Indiana and Coach Bill Lynch, which hosted Scout’s 43rd ranked running back for an official visit this weekend. The trip to Bloomington was Willis’ third official, coming on the heels of a late September trip to Purdue and a trip to Kentucky Nov. 30-Dec. 2.

Willis’ high school coach, Lance Scheib, said the visit went very well for his standout runner.

“It was a great visit,” Scheib said. “It was great for Darius to be able to spend some time with Coach Lynch and for his family to be able to be there and talk with him and the staff as well. It was a really good trip for Darius.”

Willis is coming off a huge senior season, having carried 289 times for 1,728 yards and 28 touchdowns for Franklin Central.
