Liberty Flames quarterback Malik Willis played for the Auburn Tigers before moving to Liberty in 2019. And now, the top quarterback prospect in the 2022 NFL Draft is on the verge of making that dream come true, regardless of whether Atlanta or another team picks him.
So we believe this is the right time to tell you about his parents’ story, who they are, what they do, how old they are, etc.
Who are Malik Willis’s parents?
Malik Willis was born to Harold Willis (father) and Shastca Grier (mother). And since then, these people have always supported their son’s love of sports and many other things.
Speaking to FOX5 ATLANTA in February 2022, they shared that their son has been this driving force since he was 4 years old. Young Malik told his parents that he would one day play at Northside Drive. So his parents always hoped he would play at Northside Drive, too.
Back in high school, Malik and his parents moved from the Westlake community to Roswell, when Willis switched from playing for the Lions to playing for the Hornets. So Malik’s parents were there for him from the start. They were there cheering him on in Roswell as Malik transitioned into the system that allowed him to truly become a quarterback.
Meet Malik Willis’ mother, Shastca Grier
Malik Willis’ mother, Shastca Grier is from College Park, Georgia, and currently lives in Roswell, Georgia. Her full name is Shastca Intoria Grier. And ‘Grier’ is her parents’ last name as her mother is Janice Grier. Grier’s mother, who looks very young, is a native of College Park, Georgia, and attended College Park High School there.
Shastca Grier was born around January 1975. So she would have been 47 years old in 2022. When Malik was born on May 25, 1999, she was only 24 years old.
It’s unclear what occupation Shastca Grier has, if she has one. Even her LinkedIn doesn’t reveal any details. So it’s impossible to know if she’s also a working mother or just a stay-at-home mom.

How many children do Malik Willis’s parents have?
Malik Willis’ parents have three children. Including him, there are Destini Willis and Marquis Willis.
Malik fans who are interested in his life (personal and professional) also love to see him talk about or mention his family on social media. So do they love Malik’s equally talented brother, Marquis, who looks a lot like Malik. But, for those wondering if the two brothers are twins, the answer is no. However, they do have a lot in common beyond their looks. That is football, as Marquis was also a great athlete who played linebacker for Roswell High School. Marquis is also said to be focused on following in Malik’s footsteps and hopefully becoming an NFL player. He currently plays linebacker at Northeast Georgia Post-Graduate.
As for her younger sister Destini, she may not have played football, but that doesn’t mean she’s athletic. She proves that athleticism runs in the family as she’s a cheerleader. And as for her formal education, she’s currently a student at Albany State University in Albany, New York.
