Matt DeBary | Prep Redzone Scout

One of the fastest backs in the region, Tillman also runs with balance and aggressiveness at 5-foot-10 1090-pounds. In total, Tillman ran for 1,179 yards on 116 carries with 14 touchdowns. A shifty, versatile back who can also make plays out of the backfield, Tillman is one of the top running backs across Dekalb County returning for the 2026 season. He’ll also see a big bump in the upcoming rankings update this spring.

Tillman is a stout 5’10 190 with a 10.84 100M PR, that alone is reason to be intrigued. He is a no nonsense runner who hits openings hard and doesn’t deviate off that path. Recovers from contact and tackle attempts well, even if he isn’t a true thumper. It was a breakoutjunior year for Tillman, who has some obvious D1 athletic traits.

One of the top overall running backs in Dekalb County, Tillman brings plenty of speed and big-play ability to the gridiron for the Tucker Tigers offense. He’s shifty, explosive, and can break tackles with his 5-foot-10 190-pound frame. He’s one of the top backs in the area and is coming off an extremely productive junior season where he ran for an impressive 1,179 yards and 14 touchdowns. When he ran the ball, good things happened as he averaged an eye-opening 10.2 yards per carry. He’s a big-play waiting to happen who easily has enough talent to play at the D1 level. Don’t be surprised if those opportunities come his way sooner than later.
