Eagles Extend New 2027 Scholarship Offer

Watson took to social media to share the news on January 11, saying in his post, "After a great talk with [coach Cory Robinson], I am blessed to receive an offer from Boston College."

The 6-foot, 155 lb. defender currently suits up for Grayson High School in Loganville, Georgia, and helped his team to a 12-1 overall record and berth in the state quarterfinals this past season. Watson saw time in five games, compiling three tackles, 2.0 TFL's and two pass deflections.

Though he is a bit limited in terms of his size and experience, the junior cornerback showed many high level traits in his limited action this fall. Watson looks to have great instincts in pass coverage, and is not afraid to get downhill to make a big hit in the backfield.

Though unranked as a prospect currently, he holds an impressive list of offers already, including the likes of Auburn, Indiana, South Florida and several more.

Watson took an unofficial game day trip to Chestnut Hill in November to see the Eagles face off against Georgia Tech, but he also made stops this past year at several SEC programs, most notably Georgia, Auburn and Tennessee.

He was also recently invited to Nike's "The Opening," a exclusive recruiting showcase that features some of the best high school athletes from all around the country. Players compete in various skill competitions in order to determine which 120 prospects will have the chance to compete in the final round at Nike Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon.

Although Boston College looks to have identified a talented player early in his recruitment, the Eagles will seemingly have to ward off several high level programs if they hope to eventually land a commitment from Watson.
