Renard Willis Jr. Phillips ER/ATH Class Of 2024 6'2 210
Renard Willis Jr. how was your junior season? Personally my junior season was definitely an important from my sophomore one, but I still think I could have done so much better. What does football mean to you? Football to me is an escape from the streets of Chicago. It’s also an expression and extension of my self. What should college coaches know about you? They should know that I am the embodiment to of a true student athlete. When I was this, I mean that I work just as hard doing my schoolwork as much as I work hard when it comes to football.
What part of your game have you been working on in the offseason?
The part of my game that I have been working on this offseason would be trying to get back healthy and ready to play my last season of high school football. I injured my knee during the season and I’m just trying to do whatever to get back right.
What do you like about playing on defense?
What I like the most about playing defense is that feeling when you shut out an offense or getting that sack or tackle.
What do incoming freshmen need to know about this Phillips football program? They need to understand that the Phillips Football program goal is so much higher and bigger than winning conference or city. After the program won those two state championships in 2015 and 2017 respectively, we set that as the standard every year that I have been a part of the program and that standard will never change.
Remember Deep Dish Football Is Just Not About Recruiting
But About The Love Of The Game Of IHSA Football
RESPECT THE GAME
