Tyler Atkinson

Very impressive athlete and on short list when talking about top overall ‘backer in the ’26 class. Put up video game numbers as a sophomore and film is about as good as you’ll see. One of those rare players who does everything well- plays inside/outside, extremely quick off the edge, huge hitter and very good pass rusher. Physical player who runs over blockers and lives in the backfield. Has knock-back ability at the point of contact and plays with a crazy motor. Can shoot gaps and really closes well on the football. A very twitchy athlete who you can move around and he has the ability to play any of the ‘backer positions at the next level.
