CB Jaylen Watson commits to USC football recruiting class of 2019

With Signing Day bearing down fast, USC football got back on track filling the 2019 recruiting class after some recent setbacks, picking up the commitment of three-star cornerback Jaylen Watson.

Watson, who is originally from Georgia, played junior college football at Ventura College and ranks 245th in the JUCO pool, per 247Sports. He is the 33rd-best cornerback after posting 43 tackles and four interceptions in 2018.

“Remember watching guys get offered, ranked, and praised. I never hated, I went and worked for it and waited my turn. Now that I’m amongst the elite I’ll never forget where I came from or where I started at…Be patient keep god first,” Watson tweeted on Sunday afternoon.
