Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted May 19 Moderators Posted May 19 5-star LB Tyler Atkinson visit note OnTexasFootball exchanged messages with a source very close to 5-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson (Loganville, Ga./Grayson). The 6-foot-2, 215-pounder is currently planning to make a visit to Texas again prior to making a decision. When will that visit happen, OTF is waiting to hear exactly. Texas has been by the school this month. Georgia is considered the favorite with Ohio State, Clemson, Auburn and Alabama also mentioned frequently. OTF considers this recruitment a long shot, as of today. 24 2 5 Quote

qaertyisthatdude Posted May 19 Posted May 19 Gut feeling is with some NIL support they either get Griffin or Atkinson. Either one would be an amazing pickup for Texas. Pair one of them with Brayden Rouse or Kosi Okpala and you’re cooking with gas. 4 Quote
NothinButDaHorns34 Posted May 19 Posted May 19 Seems like all of the resources to recruitment him should be focused on Xavier Griffin. 3 Quote
Ace Recruiter Posted May 19 Posted May 19 Sounds like the LB class is going to be good regardless, but it has a chance to be special. 1 Quote
TexasFanatic Posted May 19 Posted May 19 Texas will get one of Griffin or this kid. We may get other Georgia LB too 👀 (Rouse) 3 Quote

Either way you recruit both guys., but Clark being the guy with Griffin says something. Edited May 20 by HookemDTX 2 Quote
hookemholds Posted May 20 Posted May 20 Atkinson would be amazing, let’s hope he does come back and enjoys it 2 Quote
Ace Recruiter Posted May 20 Posted May 20 Get him on campus and worry about where he plays later 2 2 Quote
Santiago Agudelo Posted May 20 Posted May 20 (edited) Nothing against Atkinson, he’s a sideline to sideline LB but I like Griffin more because he can do the same things with more length. He’s definitely a 6’5 LB Edited May 20 by Santiago Agudelo 3 Quote
HookemDTX Posted May 20 Posted May 20 This is from an IT article with a quote from Griffin so you get it from the player himself. Griffin said Texas envisions him in the mold of pass a rusher like Colin Simmons. “They told me they see me in a similar role to Colin Simmons—a guy who wreaks havoc off the edge, and has the flexibility to drop and play in space when needed. With Coach Clark’s development track record, that’s been a major selling point.” 3 Quote
