NEW YORK — As she sat on the bus in New York City on Friday morning, Deann Watson could not believe it.
“We are in New York,” she yelled to her sister, Sonia.
Though it will be another day before she will find out if her son, Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson, will win the 2015 Heisman Trophy, Deann is already proud of him. He has already done something few only dream about.
After committing to Clemson following his sophomore year at Gainesville High School in Gainesville, Ga., Watson wrote down four goals he wanted to accomplish before he left Clemson – win an ACC Championship, win a Heisman Trophy, win a national championship and graduate in college in three years.
