ATHENS - Kirby Smart and Glenn Schumann finally get the news they’ve been waiting on.
5-star LB Tyler Atkinson tells Dawg Post that he will be in Athens this weekend for his big Georgia Bulldog official visit.
After taking official visits to Clemson and Oregon, it will be Georgia’s turn to try and win over the elite in-state linebacker.
DON’T FORGET YOUR FANDUEL BETS!!
According to FanDuel, the Georgia Bulldogs are 38.5-point favorites against Marshall in week one of the 2025 season.
The Bulldogs have been recruiting the Grayson (GA) star since middle school and have done everything they can to win over the talented middle linebacker. Atkinson has kept his options open, but Dawg Post has always been told the Bulldogs could be tough to beat.
The Clemson Tigers set the bar high and sources say Dan Lanning and the Ducks rolled out the red carpet last weekend for the nation’s No. 1 linebacker.
Now, it’s Georgia’s turn to deliver their message to Atkinson. He’s very familiar with the Georgia program and have established a great relationship with Smart, Schumann, and the rest of the staff over the last several years.
“Coach Schumann knows the game of football”, Atkinson added. “He’s knowledgeable and has coached some of the best linebackers in the league right now. It’s great to get over there and learn from him. Everyone wants to be part of a winning program and Coach Smart does a great job of pushing his guys. They love the way I play the game. I’ve been taking visits to Georgia since I was in 8th grade. They tell me they want a guy like me in the program.
As a junior last fall, leading Grayson to a state championship, Atkinson made 166 tackles with 32 TFLs, 13 sacks, one INT, one forced fumble, and one blocked kick.
