Past behind him Miami Hurricanes DT Gerald Willis ready for big 2018

"It worked a lot. I’m a changed person, I’m a changed man. I changed a lot of ways I used to have. I think I’m a better person and I’m starting to be a better player… “It was great…Great support. When I first got back, they had a team meeting – I came in and everybody got on their feet and clapped. I just felt so welcome and felt so glad to be back.”"

Other tackles expected to be in the rotation with Willis and Bethel are Sophomore Jon Ford and four-star Freshman Nesta Silvera. Redshirt Sophomore Tyreic Martin will back them up. According to Miami Defensive Coordinator Manny Diaz Willis is the number one tackle in the rotation.

"“He’s our [number] one tackle,…He has been our best guy all of camp, consistently. He is making the plays that we know he’s got that knack for making, but also being a consistent menace, down after down, to the offense… “It’s the way he attacks everything…It’s the way he is around the building. It’s the way he is in the weight room. It’s the way he is around the coaches and his teammates. He’s a program guy now, and does everything right and has bought into Coach Richt’s program. It’s really been fun to watch.” “He’s a new guy. He really is…He has really changed. He’s an outstanding young man. He’s a great guy in our program. He has done everything we have asked."
