Cousin of former Clemson great starting to reel in offers

A former Clemson Football star’s cousin is starting to see his recruitment pick up.

Over the past few days, Winston Watkins Jr. — a cousin of former Clemson All-American and current Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Sammy Watkins — has received his first two scholarship offers from Texas A&M and Florida State.

A class of 2025 prospect, Watkins Jr. is a rising freshman who is currently enrolled at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.

Watkins Jr. was on Clemson’s campus earlier this month when he competed at the Dabo Swinney Camp on June 2.

“The receivers coach [Tyler Grisham] likes me a lot, Dabo likes me a lot,” Watkins told The Clemson Insider after the camp.
