Winston Watkins Jr., a highly rated prospect from Venice, Florida, recently included Colorado in his top 16 college football recruiting choices. Despite decommitting from the Buffaloes in November, the team remains in the running for Watkins’ commitment. The class of 2025 wide receiver is known for his explosiveness on offense and ability to work effectively from the slot position.
Standing at 5-foot-10 and weighing 172 pounds, Watkins impresses with his advanced route running skills and elusiveness when avoiding defenders. With his speed, he is able to outrun opponents when given open space on the field.
Colorado faces fierce competition from other college football powerhouses such as Alabama, Michigan, Ohio State, Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Penn State for Watkins’ services. However, the fact that Colorado remains in contention is a positive sign.
