Sorry for my ignorance, but how about some stats.
From Kat's reaction, I imagine he is a Gator..:wink:


Willis has finally gotten the recognition that he deserves. He has flown under the radar because of the team on which he played. This is awesome. OXFORD IS ROCKIN' TONIGHT!!!

Nice job Willis! We'll miss you!!!

Outstanding. Always like the small school guy to get some recognition. I had obviously heard of Laurinaitus and Posluzsny.....but a large part probably due to who they play for...not that either had bad stats.
Could be a good year to pick up another linebacker in the draft me thinks:D
 
thats why you dont hear about him. He plays on a team that gets no respect for the record. But he just earned alot a few minutes ago!
 
Good Lord, look at those ears on laurinatis...I think i spelled that right
