Mike Watson brings size and early production to VMI’s defensive interior
Watson appears to be a developing **VMI defensive tackle** with enough frame and role flexibility to matter in the rotation, but the available public data is thin on his 2026 impact. The strongest read is that he’s a work-in-progress interior body who fits teams looking for a physical, space-eating DT rather than a high-volume stat producer; at the moment, there isn’t reliable public evidence of standout disruption numbers, injury concerns, or flashy traits that separate him from the pack.
