He was a five-time SEC Champion, 10-time First Team All-SEC selection and was ranked as an All-American 17 times in the 440-yard dash, sprint medley, 440-yard relay, 880-yard relay and mile relay. Wills graduated from LSU in 1973 with a degree in education. The New Orleans, La., native was a member of the 2021 LSU Athletics Hall of Fame induction class and will be honored at the meet after the national anthem (1:55 p.m.).
