San Diego State stays hot, lands explosive WR Travon Garrison

San Diego State continues to put together arguably their best recruiting class in years and La Verne (Calif.) Damien wide receiver Travon Garrison is the latest talented prospect to jump on board. 

It’s been a great month for the Aztecs with one big recruiting win after another. Garrison took official visits to Washington State and San Diego State and went public with commitment to the Aztecs moments ago. 

“I’ve been on campus at San Diego State a lot,” Garrison said. “Every time I go, I feel more comfortable, more at home.

“The city of San Diego is great, there’s a lot to do, the weather is nice and it feels like a place I can see myself living and growing in for the next few years.”

Aztec WR coach Matthew Middleton is the lead recruiter with Garrison. 

“I really clicked well with coach Middleton and coach Lewis,” Garrison said. “They’ve all been genuine with me throughout the process, and I feel like they truly care about me both as a player and as a person.”

Scheme fit was another plus for Garrison.

“Scheme wise, I think I fit in really well with the offense,” Garrison said. “It’s very similar to what we run at Damien, so I feel comfortable with it and believe it will allow me to play fast and showcase my strengths.

“I’m definitely excited about my decision although it was a tough one. I had to think about what was best for me, but in the end San Diego State felt like home. Everything about the program, the coaches, and the environment made it the right place for me.”

Garrison had a big junior season, hauling in 46 passes for 1,014 yards and 12 touchdowns. He’s a big play threat who runs well after the catch and can get vertical.

He’s an explosive route runner as well and can play out wide, in the slot and had some of his biggest games last season against Damien’s toughest teams.

Three-star ATH Kamden Tillis committed to San Diego State and broke down why he chose the Aztecs

Los Alamitos (Calif.) running back Kamden Tillis committed to San Diego State and broke down why he chose the Aztecs. 

The Aztecs are putting together one of their best recruiting classes in years and Tillis i a big part of that. He officially visited San Diego State back on May 30th and committed on the trip and went public with it moments ago.

“The biggest reason I committed was the love they showed me,” Tillis said. “They were in constant communication with the call and mail and coming to see me practice.

“They always showed love and I really appreciated that. I had a great official visit there and really bonded with everyone. Not only with all the coaches but the players on the team too and and I’m really excited to be a part of the brotherhood now.”

Aztec RB coach Darian Hagan was the lead recruiter for Tillis.

“Coach Hagan was a big reason why I committed,” Tillis said. “He actually coached my trainer, Sirr Parker and reminds me a lot of him so this is kind of a full circle moment for me. 

“Sirr has been training me for six years so it’s kind of cool that my new RB coach is his former coach. I’m still learning about the scheme fit but coach Hagan seems me as an every down back that can do a lot of different things so I’m excited.”

Tillis is a really nice pickup for the Aztecs and a player we think can do a lot of different things. He’s primarily a running back but has a wide receiver skill set as well.

He has a solid 5-foot-10, 190 pound frame and runs well. He clocked a 10.92-100m this past Spring and has the potential to be a true game breaker at the college level.
