Ryan Willits (born January 23, 1987 in Australia) is an Australian Rules Footballer and current player of the Port Adelaide Football Club.

Ryan was recruited by Port Adelaide from St Marys (VMFL)/Northern U18 as Port's number 19 selection in the 2004 AFL Draft. [1]

Standing at 198cm and weighing almost 100kgs, 20 year old Ryan is one of the most powerful young players in the AFL in terms of strength and size.

He debuted for Port late in the 2006 AFL Season, playing 3 games and totalling 25 disposals. [2]

He has played in the ruck and as a key forward for Port. He has also played as a defender for his former SANFL club Glenelg. His current SANFL club is West Adelaide, having moved there in April 2007 to seek more opportunities to play in a forward role. [3]

In 2007 Willits was delisted by Port Adelaide, before being relisted by Port as a rookie.
