Expert Analysis
Niel Stopczynski | Prep Redzone Scout
-Top ranked newcomer that transferred in from East St. Louis (IL) and made an impact in the Class 6A IHSA State Championship game last fall.
-Reportedly ripped off a 4.5 at the Under Armour Camp this spring and delivered a notable performance versus the linebackers group in all versions of one on one periods, looking natural as a receiver.
-Shifty and laterally quick home run hitter type prospect. Versatile player that can be used out of the backfield and lined up at receiver. Difficult to tackle in small spaces and has ability to create big plays.
-Earned offers and interest from Division I FBS and FCS programs, and one of the top uncommitted prospects in the State of Missouri.

Tillman is a recent transfer from East St. Louis (IL), and having a nice offseason highlighted by his performance at the Under Armour Next Camp Series in St. Louis where he ran a 4.5 and consistently won run and pass reps versus the linebackers in attendance in front of PRZ eyes. Track guy that was a home run threat for ESL’s run to state last fall. Ran for 573 yards, 7 TD in 2025, 518 and 10 in 2024. Patient runner, waits for the play to develop, sees the hole and fires through. Has a good stutter step, shifty in the open field, slippery and hard to tackle in the phone booth. Quick to accelerate with good lateral agility. Has ability to create. Physical, can take contact at his size. Turns the corner with aggressive burst. Can be relied upon in the passing game based on combine performance. Has a collection of FBS and FCS offers. New school, new league, could result in new opportunites.

The other scat back from the Flyers also shined at the event. He is crisp route runner that juked linebackers in one on one coverage on a regular basis. High level pass catcher out of the backfield winning his one on one matchups on a regular basis at the camp.

Read EvaluationScott Burgess | Prep Redzone Scout
Tillman is one of the better backs in the class. At 5’9″ 170 pounds he runs low to the ground and has explosive speed in the open field. Does an excellent job at beating contain and getting to the edge. Runs behind his blockers up the middle. Like the patience he shows downfield. Makes guys miss and finishes runs with power. Bounces off defenders. A lot of potential in the pass game as a pass catcher.
