Antavious Watts brings instinctive, high-motor safety play to Mississippi State
Watts is a freshman safety for Mississippi State in the 2026 season who arrives with a reputation as a quick, instinctive playmaker in the secondary. High school reports credited him with more than 129 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, three interceptions, four pass breakups and a fumble recovery, while evaluations praised his ball-tracking, closing speed and run support. He’s the kind of defensive back who can erase mistakes with range and attitude—useful if a team wants a physical, turnover-minded safety with upside.
