— Auburn Football (@AuburnFootball) December 19, 2024Out of Houston (Texas) Summer Creek High School, Atkins was a blue-chip prospect. On the 247Sports Composite, he was rated 4-stars, the No. 25 linebacker, No. 55 player in Texas and No. 334 recruit overall in the Class of 2024.
There was a time Atkins was expected to land at Texas A&M. The Aggies had a coaching change in 2023, and Atkins elected to sign with LSU. He’s now excited about the opportunity to play for DJ Durkin, the former Texas A&M defensive coordinator and linebackers coach serving in the same position on Hugh Freeze’s Auburn staff.

— Xavier “DEEBO” Atkins (@XavierAtkins8) December 19, 2024As a freshman at LSU, Atkins played in 7 games for the Tigers during the 2024 season. He logged 3 total tackles on the season. His last appearance came on Nov. 9 in LSU’s loss to Alabama.
Though Auburn and LSU have a rich rivalry history, the annual game was lost to the SEC’s 16-team schedule. It would take a meeting in the SEC Championship Game or College Football Playoff for Atkins to face his former team in 2025. The SEC has yet to announce a scheduling plan for 2026 and beyond.
