Jordan Atkinson brings size, recruiting upside, and run-support toughness to Sacramento State
Atkinson is a fresh-faced Sacramento State linebacker prospect with a legit frame at 6-foot-3, 208 pounds and a three-star recruiting profile, plus a high-motor background from South Oak Cliff in Dallas. In his senior season, he posted 50 tackles with eight tackles for loss and at least three tackles in every game, which hints at consistency and downhill instinct. He looks like a fit for a defense that values physicality, range, and developing upside. The big question is projection: he has the tools and tackling profile, but the college translation will come down to how quickly he adapts to FCS speed.
