Ken Tilford brings veteran depth and compact coverage versatility to Drake’s secondary
In the 2026 season, Drake senior defensive back Ken Tilford is listed at 5-foot-11 and 195 pounds, giving the Bulldogs a thicker, more physical option in the secondary with senior experience and a steady, ready-for-contact profile.[1][2][8] There isn’t public stat-tracker detail showing a breakout production spike yet, but his value is the kind coaches love: reliable depth, positional flexibility in coverage, and the maturity that comes with being an older defender on a roster trying to win now.[1][2][10]
