Anthony Watkins gives Tulsa a versatile, explosive backfield weapon
In the 2024 season, Anthony Watkins showed why he matters: he produced 402 rushing yards and 142 receiving yards for Tulsa, scoring five total touchdowns while flashing big-play ability with a 77-yard rushing long and a 63-yard receiving long[1][7][11]. His value goes beyond the box score—he can help as a runner, receiver, and return-style athlete, and he has already delivered statement games against league opponents[1][10][13]. The fit is strongest for a team that wants versatility, sudden acceleration, and a back who can create chunk plays rather than just grind out carries[1][9].
