Highlights

Played out of position this season at defensive end and still had a very good year with 14.5 TFL and 8.5 sacks. He played AAAAA ball and the team went to semi-finals. Here is the only video of him

Looks like a baller to me. Great nose for the ball. Might need to add more mass.

It only requires half a teaspoonful of creatine monohydrate every day. Labels encourage overconsumption.

What is his position if not DE?

Welcome Dawg!

He played OLB but is 6'7."...if he adds weight (listed at 217) and muscle, seems like a natural for DE.

Well. he could be a Ted "Mad Stork" Hendricks in waiting at linebacker. Welcome pup!

Did you notice the question mark in the title?

OLB is what he started at till injuries struck the team.

Saw the question mark in the title but was wondering why clockshop would say he’s committed and where that info came from without a confirmation from him.. just wondering if we had any more info on his decision. Weather it be a yes or maybe.. just hoping for another commit.. we def need some!

I debated starting a thread absent a player/high school/coach announcement but the Twitter site that had the news covers South Carolina High School and College Sports extensively and had another tweet on Watts regarding the commitment. They were with him this week during practices for the High School All Star Bowl he was participating in.

Heck - we’ve/I’ve been burned where a player announces a commitment that didn’t hold an offer.

 

[BNich]

So still no confirmation on this? I am hoping we get some good news after the OV's this past weekend unless they're waiting until Wednesday.

 

[HuskyDogArt]

If true, welcome

 

[uchusky32]

I hope I don't have to recall my previous post.

I’m sorry but this is embarrassing.
