Ja'Kyri Watson brings two-way playmaking speed and ball skills to USF's secondary
Watson is a **three-star cornerback** and a South Florida signee who stands out for his **track speed, ball production, and versatility**: Osceola lists him with 94 career tackles, 3 interceptions, 29 pass breakups, plus kick and punt return value, and USF notes he ran a 10.79 in the 100m and 22.06 in the 200m while helping Osceola finish as Florida 6A state runner-up. [2][4] In his senior season, he posted 23 tackles and 2 interceptions, and his profile suggests a **feisty, high-effort defender** who can fit as a man-cover, turnover-seeking CB with real special-teams upside.
