The Georgia Bulldogs are preparing for another significant official visit weekend and while the number of visitors might be lower, Athens is set to host several elite recruits. Among them is five-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson.
Atkinson is a familiar face in Athens, having visited Georgia multiple times for camps and prior visits. The Bulldogs have been actively recruiting him for years, using these in-person opportunities to sway Atkinson to come play between the hedges.
Georgia has been the well-known leader for Atkinson and many people look at him as a potential future Butkus Award winner for the Bulldogs if he joins the program. Georgia has made Atkinson a top priority throughout his time during high school and needs to land a top an in-state prospect like him.
This official visit will go a long way in determining if the Bulldogs can land Atkinson and keep him home from the other contenders. The five-star class of 2026 prospect went on official visits to Oregon and Clemson already and both teams are making a strong push for Atkinson. The Bulldogs also are after five-star wide receiver Cederian Morgan. They already have a commitment from five-star quarterback Jared Curtis, who is the only five-star in Georgia’s fifth-ranked recruiting class.
Ranked as the nation’s No. 8 overall recruit by the On3 Industry Rankings, Atkinson is one of the best players in the nation. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound linebacker had a dominant junior year. He led Grayson to a 14-1 record and a Georgia AAAAAA state championship, racking up 166 tackles, 32 tackles for loss, 13 sacks, an interception and a forced fumble.
