It looks like he has a twin brother that doesn't look to be a bad recruit either.

We have good luck with III so lets hope it can possibly work again.

Good size and speed with a very nice early offer list. He's exactly what we need at WR.

Speaking of JR days, does anyone know when that is...and is it open to the public?

It's on the day of the Spring Game.

On DuckTerritory, they said Atkinson had a great visit. He's friends with Terrence Mitchell, so that will work in our favor.

Thanks for the video TK!

Definitely looks like a better fit at WR in our system than RB. He's got a great burst and seems like some very solid hands, but not that juking-lateral quickness that we've grown to love from LMJ (maybe we're a bit spoiled).

TK, do you know who the main competition will be to get him? That offer list is huge! I'm sure as usual that 'SC will be in the mix.

Cal/USC. He doesn't get out of Nevada very often, but he has unofficially visited Cal. And he wants to stay in the Pac-10, so USC automatically becomes a concern. But thanks to a visit for JR day, I guarantee we'll be his list of final teams.

Both Atkinson twins have been offered... Brother Josh is 6'/180/4.47, according to Rivals. Nice measurables for a CB.

They seem like a good pair to be offering. I can't think of a time when Oregon ever had a set of twins on the roster.

The whole west coast is after those brother's. I would be shocked if we ended up with them. I would not be mad if we did though! I think any school that offer's one will offer both.
