Watts’ is No. 29 cornerback in the 2019 class according to 247 sports out of Little Elm Texas. He joins fellow 2020 cornerback Dontae Manning as recent additions to the 2020 class. Manning, a 6-foot, 175-pound Kansas City product, gave a verbal committment after the Sooners’ spring game and has been on the Oklahoma football radar since secondary coach Roy Manning arrived on campus in January.
The real story isn’t not just that the Sooners have pulled in two of the top 30 cornerbacks in the nation in a two-week period. It goes deeper than that. The two recent commits are part of a recent recruiting trend of targeting taller cornerbacks with long wingspans.
