The 2019 linebacker has a thick frame, and goes after the ball carrier with reckless abandon. He does a nice job of meeting the ball carrier square in the numbers and really drives his feet. Atchison is a strong player, he craves contact and does a nice job of taking good pursuit angles. He is a hitter plain and simple and though he lacks height, colleges shouldn’t overlook the dependable player. Atchison really improved his tackle production and was one of the state leaders with 154 tackles, which was exactly what we were hoping going into this season. The senior delivered, and led class 6-A in tackles and #3 overall in the state. What I like about Atchison is direct brutal contact out there on the field. He keeps his pads parallel to the LOS and squares up for big hits. I wouldn’t be surprised to see bigger schools recruit him as a traditional blocking back – he definitely fits the mold and can continue to add good weight on either side of the ball. The amount of energy and effort that the 2019 recruit showed his senior year proves that he can make an impact at the college level. Atcheson brings the hammer, and his improved quickness led to one of the best seasons on defense in Georgia. Improved his SAT even by 110 over the last 6 months, dude has been on fire.
