Willis' sophomore season was also a dismal one as he appeared in just 13 games for head coach Jeff Capel, and was part of a Sooners team that finished the 2009-10 season with a 13-18 win/loss record, the program's first losing campaign since 1980-81.
As a senior in 2012-13, Willis was again a prolific starter for the Eagles as he earned starting nods in all 31 games on the season.
