Clemson target LB Tyler Atkinson of Loganville, GA plans to make his commitment announcement Tuesday on the Pat McAfee Show on ESPN. He is down to Clemson, Oregon, Texas and Georgia. On3 analysts Chad Simmons and Steve Wiltfong both issued projections to Texas on Monday night. 247Sports national analyst Tom Loy Monday night also proclaimed Texas as Atkinson’s choice.
South Carolina suffered a big recruiting loss on Monday afternoon when long time target Tamarion Watkins of Northwestern announced for Texas A&M. Watkins had this to say about his decision to reporters on hand at his high school: “I really just think it was the bond that the coaching staff and all the people at A&M built with my family. I kind of get to rebuild myself, rebrand myself. Step outside my box.”
2027 RB David Segarra of Byrnes was offered by Indiana. He has Clemson and USC among his offers along with Georgia, Boston College, Virginia Tech, Duke, UCF, Vanderbilt, Stanford, Florida and Florida State.
