Alabama commitment receives in-state high school football honor
Presented at an event Tuesday in which Texas Longhorns signee KJ Lacey was also named the state's 'Mr. Football,' Garror was the lone high school player with Alabama ties to win an award.
Currently the highest-ranked member of Alabama's 2027 class, Garror is a highly-rated four-star prospect who currently ranks as the No. 35 prospect nationally according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. Garror is also the nation's No. 8 edge rusher in the 2027 class, as well as the No. 2 player in the state of Alabama where he attends Vigor High School.
At Vigor this past season, Garror helped lead the program to 12-2 record, as well as a Class 5A state semifinal appearance. As a sophomore, Garror also racked up 104 tackles, 56 TFL, and 21.5 sacks for a defense that allowed only 5.9 points a game.
Garror has been committed to Alabama since July of 2024, and is one-of-two commits in the Crimson Tide's 2027 class, joined by wide receiver Alexander Ward.

Clemson 5-star linebacker target Tyler Atkinson sets a commitment date
One of Clemson football's top linebacker targets in the 2026 class is about to reveal his college decision. Tyler Atkinson, a five-star standout from Grayson High School in Loganville, Georgia, will announce where he's headed during The Pat McAfee Show on ESPN this Tuesday afternoon. Atkinson, listed at 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds, is rated as the nation's No. 1 linebacker and a top-10 overall prospect for 2026, according to the 247Sports Composite. He recently narrowed his choices to Clemson, Georgia, Oregon and Texas, taking official visits to each. Atkinson has been on Clemson's radar for a long time, and the Tigers have made him feel like a top priority throughout the recruiting process. Atkinson's announcement is one of the most anticipated recruiting moments of the summer for Clemson fans hoping to see the Tigers continue stacking elite defensive talent. Landing him would be a major boost for Clemson's 2026 class and a big statement against other national powers. All eyes will be on ESPN to see where one of the nation's most coveted defenders will suit up next.

Major Ohio State receiver recruiting target sets new commitment date
Four-star 2026 wide receiver Jerquaden Guilford sure felt like a big-time Ohio State lean before his original commitment date of June 27, but things were thrown up in the air when he announced that he would be postponing things. That came on the heels of a reported big push by Ole Miss -- presumably some pretty significant NIL money that threw a wrench into Guilford becoming a Buckeye. It seems as though Guilford has everything figured out now because on Monday, he announced that his new commitment announcement will be this Friday, July 18. According to On3's Steve Wiltfong (subscription may be required), Guilford will announce his college choice between OSU, Ole Miss, Indiana, Michigan, and Tennessee at 5:30 p.m. Clearly, there has been a tug on some heartstrings vs. monetary opportunity, and if it's the former rather than the latter, you like Ohio State's chances to land the No. 68 receiver and 442nd overall prospect in the 2026 class (according to the 247Sports Composite rankings). If, however, money talks from the Rebels in a way we've seen things go down here recently, then maybe things go in another direction. I've kind of given up on trying to forecast these things in today's climate, but there are several crystal ball predictions flooding in for the Fort Wayne, Indiana native, so maybe the universe will restore itself on this one. We'll know Friday evening so stay tuned. Contact/Follow us @BuckeyesWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Ohio State news, notes and opinion.

5-star Oregon Ducks LB target Tyler Atkinson predicted to land with SEC school
NEW: Rivals' @ChadSimmons_ and @SWiltfong_ have logged expert predictions for Texas to land No. 1 LB Tyler Atkinson🤘Atkinson is set to announce his commitment Over the last couple of weeks, there has been speculation that 5-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson was nearing a decision in his high-profile recruitment. On Monday evening, a clearer timeline emerged. Atkinson, the No. 1 LB and No. 9 player in the 2026 class, per the 247Sports Composite, announced that he would be making his commitment on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday, airing on ESPN. Atkinson is down to a final four schools of the Oregon Ducks, Georgia Bulldogs, Texas Longhorns, and Clemson Tigers. While the Ducks have been in the game for Atkinson for quite a while, the sense was that he would be a tough pull from Georgia, where he is from. However, on Monday, a prediction was made by On3's Steve Wiltfong and Chad Simmons for the No. 1 linebacker to leave Georgia and go elsewhere. Unfortunately for Oregon fans, the prediction was for the Texas Longhorns to get him, rather than the Ducks. While the Ducks may lose out on Atkinson in the end, there is still another big-name LB coming off the board this week, with 4-star LB Nick Abrams II announcing his commitment on Wednesday. Oregon is very much in the conversation there, but Abrams is currently predicted to choose the Bulldogs.
