Day 3: R.J. Willing

R.J. Willing, 6-5 310 Sr.: Mr. R.J. Willing started his career at BYU in 2004 by starting 9 games at right tackle before leaving to serve a mission in Albuquerque, N.M. Willing won't be looking to start at right tackle though, he'll be looking to lock down the starting job at center. R.J. has never played center before this year so he will have to learn a new spot, but he still has a lot of game experience at just about every other position on the o-line. Willing is the lone Sr. on the offensive line and he will be looked to to provide leadership and experience. Earlier this week Coach Lance Reynolds commented on the radio that the offensive line was progressing well and that there are no real worries here. The rest of the offensive line will look to Willing to get a jump start and keep them pounding opponents all game long. Willing has taken his turn at BYU just waiting for his chance to start. I think he will be very aggressive this year and will take advantage of this. R.J. will provide the poise that this young offensive line needs and although he may start the year a bit sloppy because of over anxiousness, he'll end up carrying the unit along with Reynolds, when the pressure is on.
