Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs are getting some extra help in the recruiting department.
2026 5-star quarterback commit Jared Curtis has made it known that he's working behind the scenes to get the best to join him in Athens.
And one player he’s been going all-in on is five-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson.
In a recent video circulating on "X" via 247Sports, Curtis points to Atkinson, hinting that he is the one that he's recruiting the hardest.
Atkinson narrowed his list of schools down to four last week, with the Dawgs being one of them. Georgia now has to beat out Clemson, Oregon, and Texas.
Atkinson, who comes from Grayson High School in Loganville, Georgia, ranks No. 8 overall and is the No. 1 linebacker in the country.
He put up massive numbers as a junior, racking up 166 tackles, 32 tackles for loss, 13 sacks, and 46 quarterback hurries. His dominant season earned him MaxPreps National Junior of the Year honors.
As for Curtis, he’s showing just how committed he is to Georgia football by not only by helping recruit top talent to Athens, but also by taking a pay cut. In today’s NIL-driven era, that kind of loyalty and dedication really stands out.
