The chase continues.
Five-star Tyler Atkinson (Grayson, Loganville, GA) remains Clemson’s top linebacker target.
After being promoted to linebackers coach, one of Ben Boulware’s first recruiting stops was to see Atkinson. Head coach Dabo Swinney and safeties coach Mickey Conn accompanied Boulware on that initial visit. Conn has longstanding ties to Grayson.
That wasn’t Boulware’s only visit to see Atkinson either. He was determined to get the Tigers back in it for Atkinson, and that he’s done. The five-star talent would visit Clemson for the first time in about a year for the Elite Retreat in March.
