Top Linebacker Prospect Announces Commitment Date
14 Jul
Summary
- 5-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson to commit on July 15
- Atkinson heavily recruited by Clemson, Texas, Oregon, and Georgia
- Commitment could secure another top-3 class for Georgia Bulldogs
As the 2026 college football offseason winds down, most prospects in the 2026 recruiting class have already announced their college commitments. However, one major player has yet to reveal where he will be attending - 5-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson from Georgia.
Atkinson recently announced that he will be committing on Tuesday, July 15th, during the Pat McAfee Show. Many believe Atkinson is one of the best linebackers in the 2026 class and has the potential to make an immediate impact for whichever school he chooses. Clemson, Texas, and Oregon have all heavily recruited the talented linebacker, but the Georgia Bulldogs have also been heavily involved in his recruitment, hosting Atkinson multiple times on the University of Georgia's campus.
Should Atkinson choose to join Kirby Smart and the Dawgs' 2026 class, he will likely secure another top-three recruiting class for the Georgia Bulldogs. Atkinson's commitment will be a highly anticipated decision in the final stretch of the 2026 recruiting cycle.
