Desmond Watson

School: Armwood

Hometown: Seffner, FL.

Height: 6-5

Weight: 380

Position: defensive tackle

247 Ranking: 3-star

Recruited by: David Turner

Enrollment date: January of 2021

Notable: Watson is the true defensive tackle in the class for the Gators and will early enroll at Florida next month. Watson is a guy who could compete for playing time next year if he hits the weight room hard this offseason.

Quotable: “I’m the bigger inside pressure guy for the defensive line,” Watson said on how Turner sees him fitting into the defense. “They don’t have really any defensive linemen my size and that’s what they need in the SEC. They want me as a big internal threat at defensive tackle.”
