Death threats part of 'just sick' reaction to Michigan recruit Logan Tuley-Tillman burning OSU letter

Logan Tuley-Tillman knew he probably would hear from some Ohio State fans when he tweeted a photo of himself burning mail sent by the Buckeyes.

But he didn't expect national media exposure, and he certainly didn't expect death threats.

That's exactly what he got.

"I got threats coming at me from everywhere -- death threats," the Michigan football recruit said by phone Tuesday. "I got somebody telling me he wants me to burn in hell. I got somebody talking about the Holocaust.

"Why, 'cause I burned your team's envelope? Stuff like that I don’t understand. I’m only 17. It takes a lot of emotion for someone to do that, just over an affiliation to a school.

"But you know what? God bless 'em. I'm moving on."

Michigan football commit Logan Tuley-Tillman burns recruiting mail from Ohio State

On Friday, Ohio State began targeting a Michigan football commit by formally offering 2013 four-star linebacker Mike McCray.

A day later, the Michigan-Ohio State recruiting battle made waves again.

Or, more specifically, fire.

Michigan offensive line commit Logan Tuley-Tillman, a member of the 2013 class, tweeted a photo Saturday of himself burning a piece of recruiting mail from the Ohio State football office.
