Tilson is the top ranked safety in the 2026 class in Illinois.  He has been committed to Kentucky since June.  Sunday night the Wildcats fired head coach Mark Stoops.  No word from Tilson yet on the status of his commitment as he has not confirmed anything to us directly or on social media.  The hard hitting back end player will have a decision to make in the next few days before Wednesday.

Tuesday Update: Tilson says he is still committed to Kentucky, but will listen to other schools until Friday when the early signing period closes.
