Expert Analysis
Brendan Mankarious | Prep Redzone Scout
The final nominee of today’s list is calling it a prep career as a champion. Mainland’s Hunter Watson Hunter Watson 6'0" | 170 lbs | WR St. Peter’s Prep | 2026 State NJ , who recently signed his letter of intent to Monmouth, was in many respects the heart and soul of his team. Immediately we see Watson’s ability for his body to explode low-to-high akin to if he was working out in the Hammer Strength Jammer machine. He is super fast off the ball at times and pass rushes with a plan. An arsenal of moves at his disposal, Watson is a maestro at the spin & pin move. He will utilize his speed rush well and has that internal landmark in his mind as to when he should trace back to when a quarterback steps up into the pocket. When dealing with offensive lineman, we see Watson often work his hands under their breast plate and fight to maintain that hand placement. Watson will try for the strip sack and create momentum changing plays for his team. Physical with oncoming blockers, Watson will also pursue the ball anywhere it winds up on the field of play. Reach plays are rendered ineffective the way he sets the edge. For Watson to be a two-phase game wrecker at the next level, I want to see him continue to stay square to the line of scrimmage when playing the run and work on flipping his hips more when rushing the passer. Generally he could stand to play a tad bit lower, and this will come as enters college; however, he is 6’5″.
