Tariq Watson brings veteran CB snaps, speed, and ball-hawk flashes to UAB
Tariq Watson is a battle-tested corner with real experience, having played in 34 career games and logged eight starts across Minnesota and UAB, and in 2025 he was part of UAB’s cornerback rotation while showing up on the stat sheet with 26 total tackles, a sack, and a quarterback hurry. He stands out for his track speed, aggressive trigger, and sticky physicality in coverage; coaches and analysts also note a playmaking edge, including an interception and a fumble recovery in UAB’s spring showcase. If your team wants a CB who competes like he’s trying to win every snap, Watson looks like a useful fit.
