I was sad to read that Ahmad Willis died recently. I still remember listening to the radio call of the victory against TCU when he blocked the field goal in OT to seal the deal. Willis was a force of the defensive line. Praying for his family today.

Great player. One of the best DE's we have ever had, pound for pound. Robert Daniel was likely the best as he made the NFL, but he was 6'6"-275lbs. Willis was about 6'2"-265lbs, but played much bigger. Rest in peace.

I went to that TCU game in Forth Worth. Drove 7.5 hours to get there. It was a great weekend. Not only did we beat TCU in OT, but we got to explain to the wait staff at Joe T. Garcia's after the game where Northwestern State was located in Louisiana. That's when NSU football was really good. It was because of players like Ahmad Willis that we were that good, too. He was a gamer, and a good guy from what I understand. Great memories of him at DE. Sad news to hear he has passed. Life is so short.
