Following an out-of-nowhere explosion as a junior, Cedric Tillman has been named to Phil Steele’s All-American third team ahead of the 2022 season. Now a redshirt senior, Tillman is coming off of a 1,000+ season, something no Tennessee receiver had done since Justin Hunter in 2012.
Tillman caught 64 passes for 1,084 yards and 12 scores, emerging as a true No. 1 receiver after entering the season with just a handful of career receptions. Now he’s one of the best in the country, and he’s set to return for more as a redshirt senior in Josh Heupel’s second season.
