WATKINS TO WALK-ON

Massaponax senior Trey Watkins will join William & Mary’s football program as a preferred walk-on. Watkins had Division II scholarship offers but Panthers coach Eric Ludden said William & Mary is his dream school.

Watkins played running back, safety and linebacker for the Panthers. He said the Tribe’s coaches haven’t decided if he’s a running back or an outside linebacker. He won’t be in the secondary.

Ludden said William & Mary is treating Watkins as a scholarship player.

“He has an official visit. They’re paying for all of that,” Ludden said. “They’re saying he’s going to get the same chance that all the other incoming freshmen will get and it’s the school he really wanted to go to.”

Ludden said Watkins’ versatility may have ultimately hurt him with Division I coaches because they weren’t sure what position he’ll play.

Watkins said entering the Tribe’s program as a walk-on will provide extra motivation.

Funny. But I will say that depth at any and all positions is welcome. Our defense last year was very good but would have been considered great if not for the late scores in before half and toward end of game. Just minimal rotation would help that.

What is the difference between the bottom three?

The 2009 game at UVA was an emotional volcano with Michael Clemons delivering a stirring pre-game pep talk. He was part of the 1986 team. After the Tribe prevailed that night, everyone expected Michael to be presented with the game ball in the locker room. But Jimmye Laycock held the ball up and called forward another member of the '86 Tribe. The locker room exploded with chants of "P.G.!!!....P.G.!!!"
