Watkins has the kind of speed that you can’t coach. He has the speed to take the top off of the defense, he has phone booth quickness and he excels at yards after the catch, making him a nightmare for his opponents in the open field. Jelani has elite suddenness, he is shifty in space with the ability to turn and accelerate quickly and he can make a house call no matter the down or distance. Watkins has sure hands, he uses his jitterbug quickness to create seperation early in his routes and this allows him to get open often. Watkins is the 6A State Champion in the 200m, running a blistering 20.54 to capture the crown this past track season. Jelani has narrowed down his college search to a Final Four of LSU, Texas, Arkansas and Texas A&M.

Watkins is an already known player in the area due to his playmaking abilities on the field but it never hurts to show more love. Watkins makes a living of leaving defenders reaching and grabbing on his way to the endzone. Throw the ball up and let him go get it. His speed is other worldly and he makes it look easy. Watkins shows very good foot work and smooth route running, and combined with his quickness off the ball he becomes an open target at a consistent rate. He runs his routes very cleanly at every level, putting pressure on defensive backs and coaches to find a way to limit his impact which is extremely hard. Watkins is a special player who’s name you will hear for years to come.
