Ranked 53rd overall and 7th in his position group, defensive back Chieftain Watson Chieftain Watson 5'10" | 170 lbs | DB Courtland | 2027 State VA really impressed me a couple weeks ago. Love to watch his competitiveness in person, going against a top flight group of receivers, Watson battled all afternoon. He had a great season for Courtland last year and is poised for more attention from colleges this off-season. A 5’10 corner who is physical off the snap, he is a Division 1 player!

Safety prospect with good height and size. Good athletic ability with very good change of direction, lateral agility, good foot speed, foot quickness, balance, flexibility, explosiveness, and hip fluidity. Good processing at the start of the play to make his run/pass read. Very good range from his safety position, showing good speed and awareness on the field. Good versus the pass, with good Zone coverage and can be used in Man coverage. Good ball skills, timing the routes well to meet the receiver when the ball arrives. Shows good hand-eye coordination to deflect passes and good hands to make interceptions. Hard-hitting safety with very good tackling that is dependable in the open field. Can come into the box and offer run support, showing physical toughness taking on blocks and making tackles. Also plays QB for his team showing command of the offense as a passer and runner. Overall, a good prospect who we are high on at the safety position.

Honorable Mention selection at quarterback Courtland’s Chieftain Watson Chieftain Watson 5'10" | 170 lbs | DB Courtland | 2027 State VA but his work in the Cougars secondary to me is what really stands out. Watson is a ballhawk at free safety he can cover a lot of ground and is not afraid to play the run. He did a little bit of everything this past season for the Cougars and you are going to being hearing his name much more going forward.

He was all district at quarterback for a reason, very athletic under center leading Courtland on a deep playoff run.
