Sam Watts brings high-motor edge and proven special-teams polish to the Jackrabbits
Sam Watts is listed as a defensive end for South Dakota State, but the most reliable public information I found profiles him as an elite kicking/punting specialist and coach, so I can’t verify current DE production or rankings from trusted stats sources. What does come through clearly is his differentiator: strong technical coaching roots, attention to detail, and a reputation for helping athletes perform under pressure—traits that translate well to special teams and developmental roles. If you’re evaluating fit, the big question is whether you want a rugged, fundamentally sound player with a high football IQ and coachable mentality.
