Trey Watkins brings downhill LB toughness and turnover-making instincts to William & Mary
Watkins is a physical, assignment-sound linebacker who flashed real production at William & Mary in 2022, starting 12 of 13 games and finishing with 52 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, a half-sack, two fumble recoveries, and a pass breakup. His differentiators are range, effort, and ball awareness—he has a knack for getting around the play and finishing it, not just piling up empty tackles. For a team that wants a reliable, high-motor defender who can contribute in space and create disruption, he looks like a fit.
