HUDL HIGHLIGHTS

PREP: An Arizona state champion is set to join the fold in the Yellow Jacket offensive line room as Coplen is set to make Spearfish his next home. A 4-year letterwinner, 3-year starter, and 3-year team captain for head coach Jason Lyons and Eastmark High School, he helped lead the Firebirds to the Arizona AIA State Playoffs. Highlighting the postseason appearances was a historic 2022 season that saw EHS post a 13-1 record en route to a Conference 3A State Title as they out-scored their opponents 649-212, an average score of 46.4-19.2 in their 14 contests. Coplen has been recognized in the Grand Canyon State as Second Team AIA 4A All-State in 2023, and First Team AIA 4A East Sky All-Region in 2023 and 2024. Tillman is the son of Heidi and Jerry Livingston, and Randy Coplen. He also has seven siblings, Kennadee, Warner, and Riggins Coplen, and Carter, Addison, Eastyn, and Lane Livingston.
