Kacey Gilliam brings twitchy edge speed and production to JMU
Kacey Gilliam, a 2026 EDGE from Quince Orchard and a James Madison commit, looks like a disruptive, high-motor defender with real pass-rush juice: he helped Quince Orchard win Maryland 4A titles in 2024 and 2025, posted 46 tackles, 13 sacks, and 11 tackles for loss in his senior season, and was named first-team all-state[2][4]. He’s been rated a three-star prospect by multiple recruiting services, and the buzz around him centers on his athletic pop—he’s reportedly a 11.4 100-meter runner—plus the kind of edge-setting, sack-finishing frame JMU likes to mold[1][13].
