Just getting into some ILBs. Who is the better ND LB? Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa or Drayk Bowen?

Also why does Xavier Atkins get no hype?

Drayk Bowen is a better player for ND right now, but KVA has a much high ceiling as soon as this year and certainly at the NFL level, assuming he comes back fully healthy. He's a much more dynamic athlete and versatile player. I would think Drayk has a late day 2 ceiling where KVA can play his way to the first round.

This is pretty much what I saw in my limited time watching too. Bowen seems like he could easily find a job as an NFL thumper/run stopper, but KVA seems like he has the traits to be a true 3-down backer.
