Atlanta 4-star ATH AJ Tillman commits to Louisville
Lithonia (Ga.) athlete AJ Tillman has committed to Louisville.
Tillman was on campus for a visit over the weekend. The 5-foot-11, 190-pounder pledged to Jeff Brohm and the Cardinals as a running back. The four-star athlete currently ranks as the No. 359th-ranked prospect in the nation according to Rivals’ Industry Rankings and is the 39th-best prospect out of Georgia.
He chose Louisville over Georgia, Nebraska, Wake Forest, Miami, Ole Miss, and Colorado. Tillman is now the 15th commit in the Cards’ 2027 class. Some schools were only recruiting Tillman as a defensive back.
As a junior, Tillman ran for 461 yards on 61 carries, averaging 7.6 yards a pop. He also managed to reach the end zone five times. Playing on both sides of the football as a defensive back as well, Tillman collected 22 tackles, six passes defended, and a fumble recovery this fall. Over the last two seasons, Tillman has combined for over 1,500 yards on the ground and 17 touchdowns.
Tillman transferred to Lithonia after starting high school ball at McDonough (Ga.). He is the second running back to join the class on top of Pennsylvania speedster Justice Hardy. Position coach Chris Barclay has built one of the most talented and depth-filled running back rooms in all of college football.
