Last weekend, the West Virginia coaching staff hosted former Tennessee linebacker Aaron Willis (6'1", 225 lbs) on a visit. 

Willis spent one year with the Volunteers and played in eight games, mostly on special teams. Coming out of high school, Willis was a consensus four-star recruit and was considered an SI All-American candidate. 

Some analysis on Willis from the department of scouting at SI All-American:

"Willis has head-turning striking ability as an ultra-aggressive second level prospect. The compact frame could limit the amount of time he spends as a true edge prospect at the next level but the short-area power and comfort playing in space could eventually help him develop into three-down territory in college. At a minimum, he has special teams ace traits to his name."

Willis entered the portal shortly after spring ball had concluded. He will have three years of eligibility remaining.
