AUBURN, Ala. - Almost 3,000 miles from his home in Lacey, Wash., running back Lawyer Tillman knew he'd found his second home when he first stepped foot in Auburn.
"It really is what people say it is as far as the whole family feel," Tillman says. "I know that when I first set foot on the campus, that's what drew me here. Before I even talked to the coaches or saw any of the facilities I was like `I want to go here'.
"Auburn is what it is -- a great place."
Tillman's father, Lawyer Tillman, played at Auburn as an all-SEC receiver from 1985-88.
