Two more football verbals

As signing day draws closer, BG continues to close fast with one highly rated HS player and a JUCO WR.

The HS player is William Watson of Tampa Jefferson.  He was at one point committed to Iowa State, but then was available again.  He also visited Middle Tennessee State and had reported interest from Indiana.  He was named to the all-district team   He is listed on rivals as a 3-star recruit.  When he committed to Iowa State he was considered "one of the top secondary prospects in the Bright House Sports Network’s extended I-4 corridor Tampa Bay region."  Here are his senior numbers...note the return numbers as well as the defensive numbers.

Watson recorded 18 total tackles, six passes defended and two interceptions, tied for the team lead, for Jefferson, who finished the year 6-4 after winning the Class 3A state championship in 2010. He also rushed for 160 yards on 24 carries, caught one pass for 12 yards in a 22-0 win over Sickles and returned eight punts for 209 yards.

Michael Allen is the JUCO player, coming from East Los Angeles College.  He is a bit of a mystery.  He was their leading receiver in 2010 with 674 yards, 51 receptions and 4 TDs.   He made first-team all-conference.

Here it says he was the college's male athlete of the year and headed to San Diego State.  Then there is nothing for 2011.

Based on what we have to work with, I can only assume that it didn't work out with the Aztecs and that he did not play anywhere last season.  Perhaps more information will emerge.

Welcome to the Falcons, Will and Michael.
