Tittle plays both running back and linebacker, but projects best at the next level as a linebacker.  Runs well sideline to sideline.  Good hitter in the hole.  Can rush a little off the edge.  Like the instincts he plays with taking good angles and closing strong.

Representing one of the must-stops of the Land of Lincoln’s high school football programs in Nazareth Academy, 6’1, 205 lb. linebacker Lesroy Tittle has recently asserted himself among a decorated line of Roadrunner P4 prospects from the past few years. Tittle saw a late start to his recruitment, earning his first college football offer from Marshall in mid-May, but it was the vaunted Summer Camp SZN that really kicked things into a new gear. An early camp performance in June led to Western Michigan and Toledo offers, cementing himself as an FBS prospect, but it was a trip to Champaign and the state’s flagship university that put him on national notice. In front of the Fighting Illini staff, Tittle’s excellent camp performance led to a conversation and ensuing B1G offer from Illinois’ head coach Bret Bielema. Now a B1G offeree, Tittle made the most of a Summer Camp SZN performance window and absolutely ran with it.

Two-way contributor who showed some juice on both sides of the ball. Posted 70 carries for 450 yards and 9 TDs and added 69 tackles, 7 TFLs, 2 sacks, and 1 INT defensively. Tittle is a physical and balanced runner who can beat you with power or speed, and shows off great contact balance and a strong lower body and running style that helps him bounce off weaker tackle attempts. He’s dangerous with the ball in-hand and displays good speed, balance, and overall elusiveness that can create missed tackles when he cuts laterally and sticks his cleat in the ground. Defensively, he’s instinctive in pass coverage and does a good job of stepping into passing lanes around the MOF and is also able to play man coverage. Tittle can also tackle in space and shows good range in run support. The 2026 Nazareth Academy prospect is simply a good football player; good call by Illinois getting in early.
