Freshman VMI back with upside in the Cadets’ option attack
Adin Watters is a freshman RB for VMI in 2026, listed at 5-foot-9, 194 pounds, and recruited as a versatile back who can fit VMI’s option offense[1][3][6]. His current on-field resume is still very limited, with no meaningful 2026 production logged yet, so the intrigue is more about his build, multi-position high school background, and potential to grow into a useful downhill runner than eye-popping stats[7][8]. If a team wants a young, compact runner who can handle an option system and keep developing, Watters is a name to watch rather than a finished product[6][10].
