It's also worth noting that Atkins played a big role in the recruitment of five-star offensive lineman Solomon Thomas, who flipped from Florida State to LSU during the Early Signing Period. Now, he'll get to coach the blue-chip prospect in Baton Rouge.

LSU is looking to add to its offensive staff for the 2025 season, and it's reportedly interested in a name from ACC circles.

LSU has targeted former Florida State assistant Alex Atkins to be the new tight ends coach and running game coordinator, multiple sources told The Advocate, and a deal could be reached as soon as Wednesday.
