2026 GA LB Tyler Atkinson (Verbal Offer)

11W Forums

Tyler Atkinson raved about how great the defense looked yesterday and said Coach Knowles is in a zone.
Easily my #1 want in this class, that kid is a Caleb Downs level difference maker.

Birm said in a press conference live stream chat that he’s the best LB prospect he’s seen in years
This will be splitting hairs a bit, but Pettijohn is the best I have seen in recent years. Atkinson is right there though, so I get the debate. If they're on the same field in Columbus, I am pretty sure we won't care about that debate.

Riley and Hill are my top 2, but Atkinson is right there if we have a chance to land him.

Per 11w poster:
I think we have a fighter's chance here, but UGA is going to be really hard to beat. We do have a TON of targets down in GA that I think we can land, perhaps that might help in getting Atkinson up north. We also have a lot GA guys on defense that maybe can be persuasive in McDonald and Downs. Not getting my hopes up, but he would be a big steal if we can pull it off.

Why anybody would want to get paid to go to Auburn is beyond me.
How women, a town you'll be worshipped in, and play in front of massive crowds.

I think this will be a slim chance, but IMO JL should get the 3 OH LBs(Johnson, Miller and Sanna) and then stay in the hunt for Atkinson until the end. No harm no foul

Atkinson is listed as the top recruit out of the state of Georgia and the seventh-best recruit in the entire country. He has been to Columbus several times before, and he will be back there again this weekend. In fact, this will be the fifth time that he's visiting the Buckeyes.

Well, we all know that Ohio State knows how to 'set the table'. Will be a spirited 'practice', with many players looking to improve their lot on the team. Breaking in some new coaches as well, so maybe part of their duties today will be to hang with some of the recruits to point out what's happening on the field? And where they would fit in. Having some of the frosh be front and center on the field would certainly be eye-catching. Guess tOSU will take their shot, and let the team speak for itself. Hope there's 80,000 in the stadium. Go Bucks!
