Tyshun Willis Makes It Two for Velma Jackson
Keeping Willis company is Tyshun Willis, a fellow Velma Jackson player. He picked up a sack and made two total tackles (2.0 for loss). He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making two total tackles (2.0 for loss).
McAdams had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Willis it was a similar story. When Willis last faced the Bulldogs back in October of 2023, he picked up two sacks, forced two fumbles, and made four total tackles.
