Jamal Willis (born 1972) is a local level leader in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a former NFL football player. He also works in administration for the Alpine School District in Utah.
Willis was born in Oklahoma. He attended BYU on a football scholarship as a running back and joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while a student there.[1] He played professional football for the San Francisco 49ers in 1995.[2] He also served as a kickoff returner.[3] His season was cut short after 11 games with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in a game against the Carolina Panthers.[3] He was cut by the 49ers after the first game of the 1996 season.[4][5]
On January 7, 2018, Willis was called as a counselor in the Genesis Group presidency.[6] Like all other members of the presidency, Willis is of African descent. He had not even previously attended the Group, but had been invited to attend while a student at BYU before he joined the LDS Church.[7]
Willis has in the past been the football coach for Payson High School.[8] He currently works as an administrator, evidently for Alpine School District over schools in Saratoga Springs, Utah.[9]
