Carlos Watkins says road to recovery almost complete
Watkins makes the stop against South Carolina last season The rising redshirt junior defensive tackle out of Mooresville (NC) Chase has spent the last 20 months in recovery mode – emotionally, mentally and physically – from a wreck in September of 2013 that caused him to miss the rest of the season and took the life of one of Watkins’ closest friends.
Watkins played last season – 135 snaps over 13 games – but admitted recently that he still isn’t all the way back. But he’s close.
“I am headed that way. I don't want to say I am there yet, because there is always room for improvement,” Watkins said. “I want to keep working hard and keep moving forward and keep working on the little things.”
