Watson looking forward to Kaaya matchup

Clemson’s Deshaun Watson says he is looking for to this week’s quarterback battle with Miami’s Brad Kaaya.

The two were in the Elite 11 Quarterback camp together when they were in high school and they still have a relationship today. Watson said they talk every once in a while and they try to do workouts during the summer.

Last year, Kaaya was the ACC Rookie of the Year. This year Watson was named the preseason pick to win Player of the Year honors, while Kaaya was selected as the second-team quarterback in the ACC behind Watson.
