The Senior has had a very busy summer, collecting offers from Western New Mexico and Beloit College, and should have several college options by the time he wraps up his final season and we close in on signing day next winter. He shows plenty of good things on film and is overall a very balanced player. In pass protection he shows patient hands, strong and wide base with consistent hand control on defenders while not afraid to finish blocks with nasty intentions. He is overall a very polished run blocker that snaps out of his stance, gets underneath taller defensive lineman and shows powerful leg drive and good leverage through out his progressions. He should fit nicely inside at the next level at guard or even center, and be a multi-year contributor for a college team.
Watson is another interior road grader that has good length for the interior offensive line and shows he can combo to the second level and win against both power and speed rushers inside or out at tackle. He is a natural bender that snaps out of his stance and gets hands on early while controlling the chest of defenders and finishing blocks at the first level. Arizona Christian and Beloit College have already offered recently, and there should be no shortage of D-III+ schools that take a look and offer Watson down the stretch.
Highlights
Jones is one of the hardest hitting and rangy safeties on the western region, and is a 10+ FBS offer kid already going into his Senior season. He recently picked up an offer from Army, and tripped to NAU last month and was impressive all off-season on the 7on7 circuit and at various camps he attended. He is a very fluid athlete with good hips in transition, a quick processor in zone coverage and can cover a ton of ground with long speed/closes quickly on pass catchers and ball carriers. He will be one of the top defensive prospects to watch our for this Fall across Arizona.
