Colorado State safety commit Atticus Tillman brings rangy, playmaking back-end upside
Atticus Tillman is a 2026 safety from Arvada West and a three-star Colorado State commit who stands 6-foot-2, 170 pounds, with recruiting outlets slotting him among Colorado’s top defensive backs and a top-20 in-state prospect. In the 2024 junior season, he posted 40 tackles, 3 interceptions, 11 passes defended, and a forced fumble, then CSU’s roster notes also credit him with 80 tackles and 2 interceptions across his junior and senior years. Why care? He looks like a high-IQ, ball-hawking defensive back with length, versatility, and two-sport athleticism—useful traits for a secondary that needs range, not just tackles.
