8 Days to Purdue Football: Anthony Watts & TJ Sheffield

The first player today is wearing a new number this year, switching from 44 to 8 on the defense.

Houston, TX (Jack Yates HS)

6’4”, 300 pounds

Defensive Tackle

2019 Projection: Starter at Defensive Tackle

Yesterday we featured Lorenzo Neal here, but Watts is a bit like Neal was entering last season. He has plenty of experience and is entering a junior season where he needs to make “The Leap”. Watts was a key reserve in 2017 as a redshirt freshman, appearing in nine games.
