Rashawn Watson is a growing interior anchor for Alabama State
In the 2025 season, Alabama State DT Rashawn Watson appeared in 10 games and logged 6 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, and a forced fumble against Bethune-Cookman, giving the Hornets a disruptive inside presence when the rush needs a spark[1]. At 6-foot-2 and 294 pounds in 2026, he fits the space-eater mold but has already shown enough burst and hand violence to finish plays in the backfield, which is what makes him more interesting than a pure body-vs-body nose tackle[1][2]. If your team wants a defensive tackle who can hold up against the run and still flash real pass-rush juice, Watson is absolutely worth a closer look[1][9].
