Five-star class of 2019 forward Trendon Watford talks recruiting

WESTFIELD, Ind. – Class of 2019 Mountain Brook (Ala.) forward Trendon Watford is back on the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL) circuit this year with a new team.

After playing on the circuit last season with the Alabama Challenge, Watford, the younger brother of former IU forward Christian Watford, is suiting up this spring and summer with Nike Team Florida.

Through the first two EYBL sessions, Nike Team Florida is 4-4 and has some work to do to solidify a spot in July’s EYBL finals at the Peach Jam.

“This is only our second event playing with each other,” Watford said on Saturday following a narrow loss to Expressions Elite.
