Owings Mills, Maryland four-star linebacker Nick Abrams committed to Georgia Wednesday live on the 247Sports YouTube channel, choosing the Bulldogs over Oregon, Michigan and Clemson.
Five-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson chose Texas the day before.
While not unexpected, the commitment of two of the last remaining Top 50 linebackers to SEC schools underscores their grip on the best players in the country. It's simply tough to pry prospects out of the conference with the most exposure, most success in the NFL, the richest regional talent pool and the most money.
Oregon has one linebacker committed in the 2026 class, a very good one in Tristan Phillips, a four-star from Ventura High School in Ventura, California who has shut down his recruitment.
