Florida suspends freshman signee after second arrest in three months: report

Florida first-year football coach Dan Mullen already has someone in his first signing class who's a five-star knucklehead.

Signee Justin Watkins, a four-star wide receiver/cornerback prospect from East Ridge High School in Clermont, Florida, who recently enrolled at Florida, was arrested for the second time Tuesday in last three months.

Watkins was booked on third-degree felony charges of kidnapping/false imprisonment and domestic battery by strangulation. He also was charged with two first-degree misdemeanor battery counts.

No bail has been set yet for Watkins, and don't expect Mullen to do him any favors. Mullen suspended Watkins indefinitely.
