A mere month ago, Little Elm cornerback Ryan Watts was without a single offer.
Then came an invitation to suit up for Illinois State on Jan. 13, and then Arkansas on Jan. 16, and then Utah and Oklahoma State on Jan. 17, and so on. Watts’ suddenly-soaring recruitment hasn’t slowed since. Between then and now, Washington, UCF, Oklahoma, Colorado, Texas A&M, Notre Dame, and most recently, Texas have put offers on the table, just to name a few.
Just weeks moved from awaiting his first offer, Watts now owns 21 scholarship invitations from which to choose. Watts admitted that his recent explosion onto the national recruiting trail has been a bit euphoric, but he’s also quickly learning of the stresses that accompany weighing a multitude of options that could take his future to any corner of the country.
