83 NATL
15 ST
7 POS
XAVIER ATKINS
VERBAL COMMIT 7/5/2022
LOUISIANA STATE
6'1" | 203 LBS | OLB | 2024
SUMMER CREEK
HUMBLE, TX
RATING 5.9

Atkins committed to LSU last July, but that has not stopped other programs from recruiting him. The Louisiana native moved into the Greater Houston Area last offseason, and Texas A&M has especially used that to its advantage. The Aggies have been pushing hard for the Rivals250 linebacker, and Atkins appears to be listening to the pitch coming out of College Station. Arkansas is another program worth watching, as the Razorbacks have also caught his eye. Either way, Atkins' future in Baton Rouge does not look to be all set in stone just yet.

Aggies & Arkie need to be dealt with. We need this guy...

If this was the thought, who have we pursued to replace?

Been on flip watch for like 5 or 6 months now. I would say most here knew it already.

Tylen S from Many.


Also we have a lot of commits.

I got concerned when Maurice W flipped for Houston because he was between LB and S. But crap like this happens and you can’t get down about it.

Kelly know what to do.

This is what happens when a small town young man moves to the big city, the all mighty dollar just means more, it’s one of the oldest stories of life.

A&M has deep pockets and learned buying players has no consequences. They overpaid the loser Jimbo and they think buying the best players will get them a championship. Show me the money. That is what many of these kids care about and their moms.

Young man is enjoying the process…the staff knows his every move.

I think that every indication is that Atkins will honor his commitment and end up at LSU.

Has been the prevailing thought. We shall see. In LSU fan circles he's as much a ghost as Travonte Valentine. Would definitely blow away the ole'"watch what they do, not what they say" theory.
