Early life
Dez Watson was born in Plant City, Florida, United States. We have not got enough detail on his past life and parents. Watson has studied at Armwood High School. He has been playing football since he was a kid, and he even continued his passion for sports in high school.
Watson was also involved in other sports while studying in high school. He used to participate in track and field events, and he has thrown shot put for his high school team.
Career
Watson has shown good game for his high school team, Armwood in the 7A State playoffs. The Armwood earned the victory during the 2019 season with a score of 12-2 in the playoffs. Later on, he took a part in the Legend’s Football All-Florida Junior Showcase.
Watson was later included in the 7A All-State second-team selection. He was selected after posting 65 tackles, 10 sacks, 34 tackles for loss, and three pass breakups in his junior campaign. Watson has now started playing as a freshman for The Florida Gators.
He recently made his freshman debut as a defensive tackle in the 2021 college football season opener. His team played against the Florida Atlantic. The Florida Gators have easily beaten the Florida Atlantic in their football season opener.
Watson drew the attention of the public and commentators just after the moment he entered the field. The football fans were quite amazed to see Watson’s size, and the announcers quickly went on to announce how big he is. One of the commentators revealed that Watson arrived on campus weighing 480 pounds.
In a reply, his coach replied that they have almost got him under 400. The coach is very much impressed with his moves, and flexibility. He believes that Watson is very flexible according to his size. Watson was even compared with legendary big man, Terrence Cody, and New York Jets’ man-mountain, Mekhi Becton.
Watson is currently ranked 372 in the United States, and as a defensive lineman, he is ranked at 46. Though he made his debut in the 2021 college football season opener, he has somehow failed to impress the football fans. He could use immense size to his advantage, but, he couldn’t do that on his first game. In the game, he was able to make just three tackles.
