Breaking News: Former Tennessee Vols WR Cedric Tillman Returns After One Season
In a major development for the Tennessee Volunteers football team, former wide receiver Cedric Tillman has announced his return to the program after one season away. Tillman, who had declared for the NFL Draft following the 2022 season, will rejoin the Vols for the 2024 campaign, bolstering their already potent offense.
Tillman, a standout receiver for Tennessee during the 2021 and 2022 seasons, made an immediate impact with his size, athleticism, and ability to make plays in critical moments. During his last full season with the Vols, Tillman recorded 1,000+ receiving yards and 12 touchdowns, establishing himself as one of the top wide receivers in the SEC. His return to the team comes as a surprise to many, as Tillman had opted to enter the NFL Draft after dealing with an ankle injury in 2022 that hampered his production.
After a year away, Tillman has decided to return to college football, a move that will significantly enhance Tennessee’s receiving corps. Head coach Josh Heupel expressed excitement about Tillman’s decision, noting that his leadership, experience, and proven playmaking ability will provide a major boost to the offense. Tillman’s ability to stretch the field and make plays in critical moments will complement Tennessee’s dynamic and add depth to their high-powered passing attack.
Volunteers fans are ecstatic about the news, with many hoping that Tillman’s return will propel Tennessee to new heights in the SEC and beyond. With one of the SEC’s top receivers back in the fold, the Vols are poised to be a serious contender in the 2024 college football season.
