Dan Mullen signed a five-star cornerback, a pair of top-100 defensive linemen and two quarterbacks in his 2021 class. But none of the 22 signees are bigger than defensive tackle Desmond Watson.
Literally.
“I am going to tell you what, I don’t want to get big Des upset, but if you had to pick, you put that 400 [pounds] in the over/under, I know which one I’m taking in the over/under when he shows up here,” Mullen said on signing day in December.
It turned out that Mullen set the over/under too low. Watson was listed on the roster at 432 pounds this spring.
