William & Mary LB Nate Atkins: a high-motor tackler with production and playmaking juice
Nate Atkins profiles as a disruptive, all-around linebacker for William & Mary, with 96 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss, 2.0 sacks, an interception, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, and two pass breakups in his 2019 season at the school. He stands out for being a do-it-all defender who shows instincts, range, and finishing ability rather than just piling up tackles. If you want a linebacker who can trigger quickly, make impact plays, and bring evident effort and toughness, Atkins is the kind of fit that can raise a defense’s floor and ceiling.
