Chase Atkinson, a defensive back from Blythewood, S.C., has announced his pledge to the Syracuse Orange football program, becoming the 14th member of SU’s 2020 class.
Atkinson, who received an offer after last weekend’s camp, also held an offer from in-state Coastal Carolina. The rising senior is listed as a safety on 247Sports, which has not yet rated him as a prospect, although the edit Atkinson tweeted lists him as a cornerback.
Atkinson led his high school with two interceptions last season, including one returned for a touchdown.
After meeting with the coaching staff last weekend, and exploring the campus, Atkinson felt comfortable choosing Syracuse.
