Xavier Atkins Stays to Dominate SEC | Georgia Bulldogs Football News

Xavier Atkins is staying at Auburn despite a coaching change and mass transfers, proving why he’s one of the SEC’s most feared defenders. Last season, he led the conference with 17 tackles for loss and 9 sacks, while also forcing fumbles and snagging an interception—all while ranking fourth in tackles. This year, he’s getting preseason All-SEC honors and is a Walter Camp Award watchlist standout, having been a Chuck Bednarik semifinalist after his dominant performance against Arkansas. For Georgia, Atkins is a nightmare—he’s a versatile linebacker who can blitz, cover, and stop runs before they start. Every play will be a chess match against him, making Auburn a far more dangerous team with him on the field. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
