6-2 Texas Safety Flips to Wisconsin with Elite Ball Skills and Playmaking Intensity
Kah'ni Watts, a 6-foot-2, 183-pound safety from Iowa Colony High School in Texas, flipped his commitment from Houston to Wisconsin in December 2025, becoming the Badgers' first safety in the 2026 class. His differentiators include a team-leading four interceptions, 73 tackles (52 solo), and six tackles for loss as a senior, plus elite ball skills with 24 receptions for 328 yards and four TDs in high school. Named a finalist for the 2025 All-Texas Whataburger Super Team, Watts plays with relentless intensity, still competing in Texas high school playoffs at signing. His 4.5-second 40-yard dash and 38-inch vertical underscore his speed and athleticism, making him a perfect fit for Wisconsin's secondary. No injury history reported; his personality is marked by playmaker confidence and strong ball awareness.
