Joel Tillery Joel Tillery 5'11" | 200 lbs | LB/ATH St. John's College | 2027 State MD : Versatile Front-Seven Enforcer with Physical Edge Presence

Joel Tillery Joel Tillery 5'11" | 200 lbs | LB/ATH St. John's College | 2027 State MD made his presence felt in 2024, earning WCAC All-Conference honors for his consistent impact and versatility in the defensive front seven. A hybrid defender with the ability to line up at both linebacker and stand-up defensive end, Tillery brings a physical, instinctive style of play that allows him to thrive against the run.

Tillery excels at taking on blocks without losing sight of the ball, showing the strength to hold his ground and the awareness to shed and pursue. His lateral movement and quick first step make him a threat to disrupt plays off the edge, where he consistently sets a physical tone. Whether he’s holding the perimeter or collapsing down the line, Tillery adds toughness and energy to any front.

Currently holding an offer from UNC-Charlotte, Tillery’s versatility, motor, and physicality make him a rising name to watch as he continues to anchor one of the most competitive defenses in the region.
