Great!

Any idea about his grades and/or academic eligibility projections?

Watkins, whose nickname comes from the popular video game maker EA Sports, has been working toward shoring up his grades and did course work over the summer that had him at a 2.6 GPA entering the fall semester. Watkins said progress reports came out last week and he is now at 2.9.

Have to say it is a surprise. Going from low interest to getting the commit.

Thought he was going to wait until signing day.

This one of the surprises I spoke of a few days back. A 5.4 rate but short of the injury he was a lock to be upgraded to a 3*.

More coming you will like!

But he's a 2* prospect. He will never pan out in D1 football or even get a chance in the NFL. Sarcasm off now, good get.

He is a 5.4 who was injured and missed half a season and is from Fl.

Actually he is a perfect example of the type of kid I "included" as essential to building a solid program. Sarcasm noted but has no merit and is therefore pointless other than to perpetuate your wrong-headed argument.

You have to have been posting/reading this forum for a while. Just check out the main recruiting thread. There are plenty of people that post that our recruits are terrible and this class is not good because of star ratings. If a player doesn't have multiple offers from BCS schools then he isn't talented. It just gets annoying and hard to deal with at times, so ya either end up getting ticked off or making post like the above.

Sanford is a Class 6A school, which I think is that largest schools in Florida. In watching that video of him, it looked like a lot of defenders had a hard time catching him, so he must be pretty fast. He is showing a 4.5 in the 40.

Why? There is no comparing a 5.0-5.2 rating and a 5.4. You don't make living signing 5.0 players.

Once considered one of the premiere talents in Central Florida’s 2013 recruiting class, Watkins has fallen off the radar due to various injuries (MCL tear, dislocated shoulder, injured rotator cuff) he suffered during his junior season.

Although he still lacks the elite explosiveness that made him a top-15 recruit on the Sentinel’s Central Florida 2013 Super60, Watkins is definitely heading in the right direction and close to regaining his old form.
