Expert Analysis
Will Helms | Prep Redzone Scout
The strength of Hillside’s squad is its front seven, and Lillie’s reliability in the middle allows the defensive line to be more aggressive. He’s a sure tackler who has the speed to roam sideline-to-sideline or chase down ball carriers from behind. He has solid coverage skills, rarely allowing too much space in man and getting good depth in zone.

Like a couple of the other guys on this list, Lillie popped up on the radar as I went through my RDU Deep Dives series over the summer. Lillie had a productive sophomore year, with just under 50 tackles, and that number should grow as he’s added some weight this offseason and should be a force in the running game.

Lillie is just a rising junior, but he’s already flashed as a sophomore, making 47 tackles and two sacks last season. He’s a guy who has great physical traits, the size and the speed to have a really productive junior season.
