Jedrick Wills Tweets Top 10: Which School Is Best Fit for 4-Star OL?

Kentucky offensive lineman Jedrick Wills unveiled an updated look into his widespread recruitment Tuesday afternoon.

The 4-star prospect, a junior at Lafayette High School in Lexington, posted a list of favorites on Twitter:

This collection of contenders, which is not ordered, included 10 programs. Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Tennessee each made the cut.

Wills, a 6'5", 318-pound lineman, is considered one of the premier blockers in his class. He is rated No. 8 nationally among offensive tackles and No. 35 overall in 247Sports' 2017 composite rankings. 

Judging by his list, it appears Wills will compete in either the SEC or Big Ten Conference. Unless, of course, he ends up at independent Notre Dame.

Wills traveled to South Bend last summer for the Irish Invasion event and could return this June, according to Tom Loy of 247Sports. Loy, who covers the Notre Dame recruiting beat, wrote that the talented tackle is "adamant that he will visit South Bend this summer." 

That's good news for the Fighting Irish, whose program has excelled with elite-level offensive linemen under the direction of assistant coach Harry Hiestand. 

Joshua Lugg, rated No. 23 among offensive tackles in 2017, committed to Notre Dame before his junior year. Dillan Gibbons, a fellow top-50 offensive tackle, is also verbally pledged to the Irish.

Last cycle, Notre Dame signed two of the nation's top 10 offensive tackles in Tommy Kraemer (No. 3) and Liam Eichenberg (No. 7). The Irish are in excellent shape to secure both bookend positions for years to come and certainly could look to enhance interior slots along the line by shuffling linemen from a loaded tackle position.

“[Coach Hiestand] definitely has a great ability [to develop offensive linemen]. I look forward to working with him again," Wills told Steve Wiltfong of 247Sports (via Loy). 

Kentucky is also coming off a strong 2016 cycle in regard to offensive line talent. The Wildcats signed Drake Jackson (No. 2 center) and Landon Young (No. 6 tackle), who played alongside Wills at Lafayette.

Fellow high school teammate Walker Wood, a 3-star quarterback, is already a member of Kentucky's 2017 recruiting class. Proximity and personal ties surely seem to point toward the Wildcats as an ideal fit from a standpoint of comfort.

Kentucky is projected to sign Wills by 86 percent of experts' predictions in his 247Sports Crystal Ball.

Beyond the perceived top two suitors—Kentucky and Notre Dame—a Big Ten team warrants monitoring as things move forward. The Michigan Wolverines presented one of Wills' latest offers and will likely look to line up a campus visit.

Head coach Jim Harbaugh and his staff are in contention for several top-tier offensive linemen, and recruiting momentum at Michigan has become even more apparent in May. Wills joined 5-star Tennessee receiver Tee Higgins, 4-star Ohio tight end Matt Dotson, 4-star Florida linebacker Jordan Anthony and 4-star California cornerback Deommodore Lenoir as blue-chip prospects who've listed the Wolverines as a top option this month.

At this stage, we'll give Kentucky the nod to land Wills and consider Notre Dame the most significant out-of-state threat. Expect upcoming visits and further list cuts to put the process into greater focus.

Wills recently told Tom VanHaaren of ESPN he anticipates trimming his options to five schools and then three before reaching a decision.
