Georgia Tech has scheduled an official visit with four-star edge rusher Ba'Roc Willis for May 29-31. Willis, a former Alabama commit, is one of the top defensive prospects in the 2026 class and is being heavily recruited by several prominent programs. The Yellow Jackets are hoping to add the disruptive pass rusher to their defensive line as they look to improve that unit.
Why it matters
Securing an official visit from a blue-chip edge rusher like Willis would be a major recruiting win for Georgia Tech, as the program has struggled to land elite defensive line talent in recent years. Adding a game-changing pass rusher like Willis could help transform the Yellow Jackets' defense.
The details
Willis, a 6'3", 220-pound linebacker, is ranked as the No. 8 player in Alabama, the No. 16 linebacker, and the No. 234 player nationally according to 247Sports. In his junior season, he recorded 125 tackles, 26 quarterback hurries, 23 tackles for loss, and 9 sacks. He was a key part of Moody High School's state championship team in 2025 before transferring to Pell City this offseason.
- Willis is set to visit Georgia Tech on May 29-31.
- He is also planning a spring visit to the Flats, though the exact date is still being finalized.
