Rodney Willis Jr.: All-GSAC Big Man Dominating the Paint
Newark, NJ- Standing 6'10", sophomore center Rodney Willis Jr. from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has established himself as one of the premier big men in the GSAC, earning All-GSAC honors for his dominant presence inside. Wearing No. 41, Willis combines size, skill, and timing to control the paint on both ends of the floor.
Through 27 games, he averaged 11.4 points per game on an efficient 54% shooting from the field. While he doesn't take shots from long range, his ability to finish around the rim makes him a constant scoring threat. His 60.6% free-throw shooting ensures he converts when fouled, and his 10.0 rebounds per game underscore his dominance on the glass.
Willis' impact goes beyond points and boards. He anchors the defense, protects the rim, and sets key screens to create opportunities for teammates. Even with just 0.3 assists per game, his presence changes how opponents attack, making him a true centerpiece of the team.
Off the court, the Computer Science major applies the same precision and discipline to academics as he does on the court.
