AUBURN, Ala. - In his first Auburn spring practice, as a mid-year enrollee in 2017, quarterback Malik Willis impressed his coaches and teammates with his rapid development.
The early foundation paid dividends during the season when Willis played in seven games as a true freshman, backing up Jarrett Stidham. In addition to completing 6 of 7 passes, Willis was the Tigers' fifth-leading rusher, with 221 yards.
In Willis, Auburn fans see dual-threat potential a la Nick Marshall.
