Juanye Tillman brings proven tackle production and a blue-collar linebacker profile to NDSU
Tillman arrived at North Dakota State as a 2-star, 5-11, 194-pound linebacker, but his high school production was the real calling card: 122 tackles, 3 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and 7 QB hurries in 2017-18, production that points to a disruptive, active downhill defender. He was also a team captain and all-conference selection, which adds some leadership and competitive edge to the profile. The fit is straightforward: he looks like a physical, high-motor linebacker whose value comes from range, effort, and playmaking instincts more than size.
