Expert Analysis
Caleb Sisk | Prep Redzone Scout
Tillman is a freakish athlete who has grown since the last time he was measured in with Prep Redzone’s website. He is now sitting around 6’7, and is one of the better EDGE/Defensive Linemen in the country. I have a lot of faith in a guy like Tillman having an NFL future, as he is becoming one of the more notable names in the state. Tillman has a ton of talent and will only grow within his frame as the years go on. If Tillman continues to develop the way that we believe, he will be a future first-round draft pick without a doubt, because he has all the talent you could want.

A high-ceiling defender with size and potential, Tillman already looks like a promising prospect from a physical standpoint with an impressive offer list. He isn’t lighting up the stat sheet this second, but he’s certainly made an early impact for arguably the best high school team in the country. Just a sophomore, playing on a loaded Rams defense, Tillman has made eight tackles, two TFLs and one sack. His potential and natural talent is easy to see, and he earned a new major offer this weekend from the LSU Tigers. Right now, the Grayson defender is ranked as the No. 16 overall prospect in the state for the 2028 class. His best football is way ahead of him and he should see an expanded role in the Grayson defense more and more over time.

A dynamic defender and one of the more promising pass-rushers in Gwinnett County in the 2028 class, Tillman is a terrific natural athlete who also dominated on the basketball court for the mighty Grayson Rams.

He’ll be playing for one of the best programs in the state and has already seen his recruitment take off.

A promising EDGE defender on the rise in Gwinnett County, Tillman is a lengthy defender who plays with good leverage and shows the potential to grow into one of the state’s top defenders in the 2028 class. He played for the state champion Grayson Rams, so he still had to be patient and learn from older, experienced defenders, but 2025 could be a possible “breakout” season for the multi-sport standout. He brings an outstanding 6-foot-5 220-pound frame for his age, and while he already has an impressive offer list, he added another big one this week from the Tennessee Vols.Look for Tillman’s stock, and development, to continue to soar over the next 12 months.
