Expert Analysis
Alan Popadines | Prep Redzone Scout
A returner from last year’s South Carolina Future Stars, Watkins handled his business on the offensive front as a guard. Overall athleticism was much-improved from a year ago and was consistently shown during practice. Athleticism was best on display when he would be pulling down the line to kick out defensive ends or leading up into the hole. Did a nice job climbing the ladder and getting up to the next level with pretty agile feet. I’m unsure of his actual size, but it was pretty decent as well.

Looking back at my notes, Watkins was a member of the 7th grade South Carolina Future Stars Team a year ago but I wouldn’t have had any idea–because he looks like a completely different player. On top of growing considerably taller, he has really transformed his body and looks like ready to take the step to high school. The South Carolina Future Stars, like Georgia, spent nearly the entire practice installing. That said, I loved his footwork and ability to pull. Watkins has really improved from last year.
