Evan Tillmon Evan Tillmon 5'11" | 170 lbs | DB/WR Harrison | 2027 GA represents the Harrison High School program very well, as he is one of the better defensive players that they have ever had, and that is saying something. He is a robber when it comes to being a defensive back, as he finished with five this season, and will do even better this season, as quarterbacks want to test him, and that will be a big mistake. He is one of the better players in the class when it comes to playing man, but he is also one of the better players when it comes to playing zone as well.

Tillmon, while underrated, was a familiar name to me coming into this event, and he made a name for himself with his performance. Tillmon played with a lot of effort in competition, which worked to his benefit. He got physical at the line, stuck in coverage, but he turned on the jets and worked hard to close space when receivers did get a little space to work. Tillmon has junior tape to his name, so the stage of his recruitment is set as he heads into his senior season.

Tillmon is a dawg when it comes to playing defensive back. He is one of my favorite players in the state on the defensive side of the football, and I believe he will become a top player in the state of Georgia as a senior. He is a ball-hawk, and he will only get better, as he has a college future at the position, especially if he keeps filling out with his body. Tillmon will look to test well and compete at a high level, which I anticipate him to do. If I had to bet on someone to turn heads, a guy like Tillmon would be one of my first choices.

Another instinctive defensive back who has a knack for finding the football, Tillmon was one of the most productive defensive backs in West Cobb this fall and made play after play in the secondary for a really strong Harrison team. He shows quick feet, active hands, and knows how to make a big tackle in the open field. He covers a lot of ground down the field and was a consistent weapon in the secondary for the Hoyas defense. As good as he was as a junior, Tillmon has a chance to be one of the county’s best next fall as a senior if he continues to work hard and develop his craft.

Tillmon is a major ball hawk. He finished this season with five interceptions, and he was very productive as a defensive back as a whole. He isn’t the biggest prospect, which typically means he needs to play as a slot, safety, or simply in a flexed-out star position. He played in some of these roles, and I have started to believe that he has a chance to be a true and dominant free safety. That being as he will torture QBs who take the bait, throwing near a deep zone, and he is someone who can break to the ball quick. Breaking on a cut can have its perks and also its flaws, but this season, it showed how confident he is in his game. Absolutely electric season, and he is set for another one come next year.
