Both look like good prospects, I hope the staff puts an emphasis on defense with this recruiting class. That said, it sounds like Willis is holding out for a Miami offer. Hope we get him though.

Yeah, it sounds like Willis blew up at the Miami camp. I'd take either or both of those two. They're PHYSICAL, fast players.

I really liked Russell's footage. He doesn't look like he backs down from contact. Hard hitter, looked to have good closing speed on the sweeps and QB scrambles.
I remember seeing A.J. Klein's tape thinking "this guy looks like a headhunter, can't wait to see him on the field wearing cardinal and gold". I get the same feeling from Russell. He looks like the type that would play without a facemask if he was asked.
