Tyler Atkinson is officially a Texas Longhorn. After committing to the Horns over his home state Georgia Bulldogs, the Oregon Ducks, and the Clemson Tigers, hype and attention around Texas have skyrocketed.
Now, Texas fans are eagerly waiting for Atkinson to actually step foot onto the Forty Acres, which won't happen until the spring of 2026. However, the Horns can start building expectations for the young linebacker.
