In his two seasons at Texas, Watson registered six combined tackles, 0.5 tackles for loss, one pass breakup, and two defensive stops.
Watson was a four-star cornerback recruit from Loganville (GA) Grayson High School who signed with the Longhorns in the 2019 class. He ranked as the No. 131 prospect nationally in the 2019 class in the 247Sports Composite and the No. 16 cornerback.
