LSU football recruiting target Jacorey Watson announces visit plans
Recruiting a player early on is an excellent way to get your program noticed. Coach Brian Kelly knows this better than any and has taken advantage by beginning to take a look into theĀ class of 2025.
Among the top recruits the Tigers are going after is wide receiver Jacorey Watson. TheĀ top 100 recruitĀ is a product out of Pearland, TX, and will make his way to the boot this weekend.
The 5-foot-10, 175-pound athlete may lack in size, but certainly not in talent. According to the 247 Sports Composite, Watson ranks as theĀ No. 93 player in the country and the No. 16 wide receiver.
Getting him on campus this weekend is a major recruiting victory for KellyĀ and could pay dividends into the future.
Watson is more than deserving of his top 100 ranking
When major programs like Texas, LSU and Michigan recruit you before your junior year of high school, itās generally a good sign. For top 100 wide receiver Jacorey Watson, it certainly helps that heās a multi-sport athlete.
The elite wide receiver recruit runs track in addition to football. This plays a significant part in what heās able to do on the football field and assists in getting open downfield. In his freshman year, he was clocked running an 11.48-second 100-meter dash.
In addition to wide receiver, Watson has experience at quarterback. Still, he projects more as a wide receiver at the college level, in large part due to his elite hands and body control.
In two seasons playing for Shadow Creek High School, the top 100 wide receiver has done it all. In total, heās recordedĀ 1,676 yards and 26 touchdowns.
The Tigers have two recruits committed to their class of 2025 so far. Landing an elite recruit such as Jacorey Watson would do big things for the class as a whole.
