Jayce Tillman brings size, local pedigree, and future-upside to SAU’s backcourt
Jayce Tillman is a freshman guard for Southern Arkansas in the 2025-26 season, and the early read is all about projection: SAU describes him as a key long-term addition with a unique mix of size, skill, athleticism, and strong work ethic. In his 2025-26 opener, he logged 14 minutes, scored 2 points, and grabbed 2 rebounds, which fits a freshman still carving out his role. He was a multi-year All-State scorer at Jacksonville and helped Maumelle reach the Arkansas state title game, so he looks like a competitive guard who could be a good fit if a team wants toughness, upside, and a gym-rat mentality.
