Xavier Atkins is listed as the No. 4 linebacker among possible 2027 NFL Draft prospects, according to ESPN NFL analyst Jordan Reid. Atkins is a junior linebacker for the Tigers.
The junior has racked up 26 total tackles, seven tackles for loss and three sacks through four games.
Reid has Georgia's Chris Cole listed as his No. 1 linebacker prospect, Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa of Notre Dame is listed at No. 2, Clemson's Sammy Brown is a spot above Atkins at No. 3 and Georgia's Raylen Wilson rounds out Reid's list of top five linebacker prospects.
Atkins is considered to be on of the best linebackers in college football. He plays fast and physical, and the Tiger linebacker looks like a heat-seeking missile when he is called upon to blitz.
