When Mel Tucker left Colorado to become the head coach at Michigan State, it wasn’t long before Travares Tillman was packing his bags and following Tucker to East Lansing.
After all, ever since Tillman jumped into the world of college coaching, he’d done so under the tutelage of Tucker, who was the defensive coordinator and secondary coach at Georgia when Tillman arrived as a graduate assistant after coaching four years at his alma mater, Calvary Day School in Savannah, Georgia.
Tillman spent two seasons on Kirby Smart’s staff working with the defensive backs and was a defensive quality control coach in 2018.
