From the
moment the University of Idaho offered a football scholarship to J.J. Wills in
June 2015, the Vandals stayed on the Clovis High School wide receiver for the
next five months.
All of that
following, chasing and convincing on Idaho’s end convinced Wills that the
Kibbie Dome will be his future college football home, after the 6-foot, 179-pound
wideout verbally committed to the Vandals’ pledge on Monday, Nov. 2.
Wills said
he sought the advice of his family during a night time get-together inside his
house.
“We have
been talking about this as a family for a while. It was a special thing because
I wanted to know everyone's opinion and then I prayed on it. But it was a very
special thing (to commit),” Wills said.
The
three-year varsity letterman Wills, who held one other scholarship offer from
NCAA Division II program Minot State, becomes Clovis High’s first NCAA Division
I wide receiver commit since Matt Lindsey chose Fresno State in Sept. 2006.
Wills
currently leads the 8-1 Cougars in three different receiving categories:
receptions (50), yards (905) and touchdowns (10). He has five 100-yard games
this season, including his recent five catch, 124-yard and three touchdown evening in the 41-28 victory over Clovis North on Oct. 30.
For his varsity career, Wills has 99 catches for 1,528 yards and 18 touchdowns.
