24 Aug 2025 501 Football Team 2025: Kameron Willis – Mayflower

From an eight-game winning streak to its first postseason appearance in three seasons, Mayflower enjoyed one of its best runs in recent memory last fall. As the Eagles wipe the slate clean for 2025, the team is ready to prove that last year’s success was no fluke.

For senior wide receiver Kameron Willis, this season carries additional significance: a chance at a triumphant return from injury.

“Last year, I broke my ankle in our last football game,” he said. “When something goes wrong, you just have to keep your head up and move on. You can do anything if you keep your faith in God and put in the time and effort.”

Willis averaged 17 yards per catch in 2024, while racking up 11 receiving touchdowns. As his senior season begins, his coaching staff believes the sky is the limit for the All-State honoree.

“Kam is a Mayflower kid through and through,” Head Coach Austin Emerson said. “A phenomenal athlete with a great personality, he’s the guy that everyone believes in when the play needs to be made.”

Wise beyond his years, Willis understands the deep connection between team chemistry and success on the battlefield.

“You can’t win a state championship if you’re not a family,” he said. “By working hard, working together and bringing each other up when something bad happens, anything is possible.”

A multisport athlete at Mayflower, Willis dreams of continuing his football career at the next level while pursuing a business degree.
