It wasn’t the senior season that Cedric Tillman had in mind, that’s for sure. Tennessee’s dynamic outside threat missed the majority of the 2022 season after taking a low shot to the ankle against Akron. A high ankle sprain was the diagnosis, and it forced him to miss three of the biggest games of Tennessee’s season.
Tillman was sidelined for the Florida, Alabama and LSU matchups. Thankfully for Tennessee, Jalin Hyatt emerged as an elite threat during that span. Tillman worked his way back into the lineup against Kentucky, then was able to go again against Georgia.
