Coach John Acquavita: “Willie is a burst guy. He’s got that extra gear. It’s amazing to see. He sees an opening and just takes off. He’s a straight ahead type of runner.

"He ran a 4.3 flat in the 40 at Florida State’s summer camp [in 2003], and I think that time really helped to put him on the national recruiting scene."

Willie (via email): "[I run a] 4.30 forty, and I can run that time in the beginning of practice and run a 4.27 in the fourth quarter when the team needs it, or when it's time to change the game in our favor."
