Georgia football is going all out for five-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson. He is the No. 1 linebacker in the country and the top ranked player from the Peach State as well, so it isn't surprising to find out that Georgia is doing everything they can to earn his commitment.
The latest example of this is seen in the below video Georgia posted on their official social media accounts, which doesn't specifically mention Atkinson but it's clear that UGA is telling him "you're next."

Georgia wants Tyler Atkinson to commit next
Saturday marked a massive day for Georgia on the recruiting trail. UGA earned not one, but two commitments on July 12 from five-star tight end Kaiden Prothro and four-star safety Tyriq Green.
These commitments obviously sent Georgia fans into a frenzy because of how elite both recruits are, but UGA didn't waste any time continuing their recruitment of their most important target. Instead of posting highlights of former tight ends or safeties to celebrate this news, Georgia posted a highlight clip of former Bulldog linebackers with the hashtag "LBU." This is a direct message to Atkinson who plays linebacker, telling him how badly they want him to commit to Georgia soon.
Atkinson is yet to announce a commitment date, but he has shared that this decision could be coming soon. He has also shared that his finalists are Georgia, Clemson, Oregon and Texas which is a stacked group that will be tough for UGA to beat. But as it stands today, the Bulldogs are the team to beat according to multiple recruiting experts, so it could just be a matter of time until Atkinson joins Georgia's recruiting class.
And if Kirby Smart and Georgia keep being this direct with him, Aktinson may choose to make his commitment official sooner than he was even planning.
