Tyler Atkinson has announced his final list of schools.
One of the nation's top uncommitted players has dwindled down his list of schools in the mix. Five-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson has cut his list down to four schools and will choose between Georgia, Texas, Clemson and Oregon. A notable school that was cut from the list was Ohio State.
Atkinson is rated as a five-star prospect, the ninth-best player in the country, the number one linebacker in the class and the top player in the state of Georgia, according to composite rankings. His recruitment has turned into an intense battle between some of the nation's top programs and will likely go down to the wire.
The Bulldogs have a long lasting relationship with Atkinson, dating back to before he was a high school star. Head coach Kirby Smart and his staff are hoping the connection they have built with Atkinson and the lineage of success stories they have at linebacker are what wins out in this one.
Atkinson has not yet announced a commitment date but it is expected that he will be committed to a program before the end of July.
