ATLANTA — With Texas scheduled to make the rounds at SEC Media Days, Tuesday was going to be a big day. It became memorable when OTF 5-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson committed to the Longhorns a few hours before OTF 4-star++ defensive lineman James Johnson switched his commitment from Georgia to Texas.

OTF tracked the Texas contingent at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta and reacted to a massive afternoon on the recruiting trail. If you missed anything, we’ve got you covered with links to the OTF’s content produced throughout the day.

I am curious if SEC referees were at spring ball or will be at fall camp? We got a lot of holding calls last season that didn’t seem to get called when we were in the big 12. Way too many of those stalled drives in the SEC championship.

Check out the video of Arch signing a kid's jersey who had been waiting since 7:00 AM. The kid was from Georgia.

No he is a Eagles fan

For all the Paul Finebaum fans out there (all three of you?) ... at least he didn't ask for an autograph

I’m a Finebaum fan. The guy knows what he’s doing and he’s good at it.

After watching all of our media day, I can honestly say I've never been more proud to be a Longhorn.  Our head coach is articulate, humble, proud and conveys confidence without being an ass.  Our player representatives are all smart, well-spoken and well-prepared.  I'm proud of this group and couldn't be happier with the trajectory of the program.  #HookEm!

That “How are you” was in his prepubescent voice.
