2026 Outlook

Willis transferred to Washington for his final season to develop under coach Jedd Fisch and now lands with San Francisco, where he's running the exact same terminology and scheme. He's expected to compete at left guard initially, with potential to move to center long-term. Fisch had him work snaps at center in practice to prepare him. Willis is a strong run blocker but may need refinement at the NFL level. (per 49ers raiding Washington)

Role / Depth Chart

Expected to compete for left guard position; long-term center option with starting center Jake Brendel aging into his final contract year.

Injury Status
