Jonathan Watts brings length, transfer experience, and upside to SJSU’s secondary
Jonathan Watts enters the 2026 season at San Jose State as a 6-foot-3 redshirt sophomore with rare size for a corner and a versatile background that includes Idaho State, Laney College, and experience on both sides of the ball. In the 2026 SJSU roster notes, he’s listed as a transfer with game experience at Idaho State in 2025 and a productive JUCO track record that included an interception and two pass breakups at Laney College. The appeal is obvious: he looks like a developmental DB with range, physicality, and scheme flexibility, which is exactly the kind of high-ceiling mover a secondary can use.
