Clemson’s top linebacker target has set his next official visit.

Five-star Tyler Atkinson (Grayson, Loganville, GA), who has been announcing his official visits one week at a time, will be in Athens for a visit to Georgia this weekend.

Atkinson kicked off his official visit schedule with a stop at Clemson before heading out west to Oregon last weekend. Atkinson was the only linebacker to attend the Tigers’ official visit weekend.

“The overall visit was incredible and more than welcoming,” Atkinson told The Clemson Insider after the visit. “It was the meaning of ‘feeling like a priority.’”

“Coach Dabo is a different type of coach. I can tell he genuinely wants me there because of how I play the game and the role I can play there, but more importantly, because of the person I am. That means a lot. I can see he leads the team and the program with his heart.”

After helping lead Grayson to a 6A state title in the state of Georgia, he was an Army-Navy Bowl participant earlier this year, while also winning the MaxPreps National Junior of the Year Award.

Atkinson finished his junior campaign with 166 tackles, 32 tackles for loss, 13 sacks, 46 quarterback hurries, an interception and a forced fumble. The 6-foot-3, 215-pounder is the top-rated linebacker in the class and one of the top players regardless of position.
