AUBURN, Ala. -- With the start of his senior campaign quickly approaching, linebacker Montavious Atkinson is facing his farewell season with joy.

"(Being a senior) feels good," he said. "Just to know that I made it through all the stuff that I went through just to get here, it feels good."

A three-sport standout from Langston Hughes High School in Fairburn, Ga., Atkinson was initially drawn to Auburn because of the emphasis put on family. He committed early, in March 2014, and signed with the Tigers 11 months later.
