Anything I say about Atkinson will just be a broken record at this point. He is regarded as one of the best players in the country, and for good reason. This is part of a recent story on Atkinson from PRZ Scout Elise Benton:

“When you talk about tone-setters on defense, Tyler Atkinson Tyler Atkinson 6'3" | 205 lbs | LB Grayson | 2026 State GA is the name that echoes across the state — and the nation. The #7 linebacker in the country, #1 in Georgia, and a 5-star force according to 24/7 Sports, Atkinson was a nightmare for opposing offenses last season. With 77 solo tackles and 89 assisted, his production jumps off the stat sheet — but it’s the intensity, speed, and football IQ he brings to the field that make him elite. Named MaxPreps National Junior of the Year, Atkinson isn’t just returning as a leader — he’s returning as a certified game-changer. The heart of the 6A champs’ defense is back, and he’s got one thing on his mind: finishing the mission again.”
