IMG Football promotes Wills

IMG Football has appointed Darrell Wills as its new director of football operations, South-eastern US.

He will work with players and teams located in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.

Wills will work closely with IMG Football’s staff on contract negotiation, marketing and client management to continue to expand its operations in the critical Southeast territory.

Wills has worked with athletic organisations in Florida for many years.

Since joining IMG in 2000, he has worked with a number of players, including Chris Weinke (pictured), Kenyatta Walker, Chris McAlister, Tommy Polley, Travis Taylor and Mike Pearson.

“In the past two years, Florida and Georgia schools have produced 18 first-round NFL draft picks, again reinforcing just how vital the Southeast region is for rising talent,” says Wills, from his office in Tallahassee.
“IMG is recognised as the most experienced and reputable organisation in the field, which makes its expansion in this region a natural fit.”
