Tillis ran for 1543 yards with 19 touchdowns for a Los Alamitos team that won the Division 2 championship.

I was very impressed with Tillis’ speed at the National Preps Showcase last spring as a receiver and was surprised to see him play running back for Los Alamitos last season, but he thrived and earned All-County honors. His field vision impressed me for a guy who was expected to be a receiver and although he has track level speed, he’s a very patient runner through the first two levels. Tillis has the burst to be gone once he gets past the second level and can cause mismatches in the passing game if teams try to cover him with linebackers.
