Former OSU CB Ryan Watts continues to refer to Michigan as 'The Team Up North' at Texas

Ryan Watts is no longer with the Ohio State football program. But some habits never change.

During an interview Monday, the Texas Longhorns cornerback and Buckeye transfer continued to refer to Michigan as "The Team Up North."

In 10 games for the Buckeyes, Watts recorded 11 tackles and two interceptions against Minnesota and Rutgers in 2022, but announced his intention to transfer Dec.
