 Greenback wide receiver Holden Willis announced his commitment to South Florida via Twitter on Tuesday night.

"Humbled and relieved to say that my recruitment has been shut down!!! #GoBulls" he wrote.

Willis is the 15th member and the third wide receiver of the Bulls' recruiting class, which ranks 95th nationally and ninth in the AAC, according to the 247Sports Composite.

He chose South Florida over offers from Austin Peay and Georgetown, among others. According to the 247Sports Composite, Willis is the 350th-ranked wide receiver in the nation and the No. 71 prospect in Tennessee. 

Willis was the Mr. Football winner for Class 1A and set a TSSAA state record for touchdown receptions in a season with 28. He also finished the year with 1,729 receiving yards. 

Willis helped Greenback make it to the state title game, where he was injured in a 38-23 loss to Lake County. 

Tennessee never offered him a full scholarship, but he was offered a preferred walk-on slot.
