The Jackets’ early recruiting success continued today, as 2020 defensive end Eddie Watkins announced his commitment to Geoff Collins’ squad.
Watkins is listed at 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds and is rated a three-star recruit on both Rivals (5.5) and the 247Sports Composite (.8366). He hails from the small town of Evergreen in southern Alabama, about halfway between Mobile and Montgomery; with his commitment, he becomes the first player from the state of Alabama in Tech’s 2020 class.
Literally the first highlight in Watkins’ film is him intercepting a screen pass and running it back for six. Is it possible?
