Brayden Willis will be an excellent blocking H-Back at the next level, as his film suggests that he is competent as a run blocker and a pass blocker. Willis was a true H-Back in the Oklahoma system and won’t be asked to be learning anything too new at the next level. He won’t be playing tight end, at least I don’t think he will, due to his lack of size. Willis could contribute to special teams and play some fullback, making him a genuine H-Back prospect in this class.
