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 and joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while a student there.

On January 7, 2018 Willis was called as a counselor in the Genesis Group presidency.[1] 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.[2]

Willis has in the past been the football coach for Payson High School.[3] He currently works as an administrator, evidently for Alpine School District over schools in Saratoga Springs, Utah.[4]
