USC Football Recruiting: Trojans pick up another defensive back with commitment of Jaylen Watson

The USC Trojans defense is getting an experience boost with the addition of junior college cornerback Jaylen Watson.

Hours before USC picked up a commitment from safety Kaulana Makaula, three-star JUCO product Jaylen Watson announced his pledge to USC.

The 6-foot-2, 195 pound Watson hails from Ventura College and is the No. 35 cornerback in the JUCO class of 2019. A day before he announced his commitment to the Trojans, Watson had listed his Top Five remaining schools in Boise State, Texas Tech, Toledo, USC, and UTEP.
