A big-time Clemson linebacker target is set to announce his college choice.
Grayson (Loganville, Ga.) five-star Tyler Atkinson will announce his commitment decision tomorrow (Tuesday) on The Pat McAfee Show (12-2 p.m., ESPN).
Atkinson recently released his four finalists, with Clemson, Georgia, Oregon and Texas each making the cut. Those are the four schools that got official visits from Atkinson.
“It was the meaning of feeling like a priority,” Atkinson told The Clemson Insider after his Clemson official visit. “Coach Dabo is a different kind 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 the type of person I am. That means a lot. I can see he leads the team and program with his heart.”
The 6-foot-2, 210-pounder is the nation’s No. 1 linebacker and the No. 9 overall prospect in the 2026 recruiting class, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.
