Running back Nakia Watson excited to take on his former squad this weekend at Wisconsin

On Monday, Jake Dickert spoke to the media about his upcoming return to his home state when he leads Washington State out on to the field this Saturday against Wisconsin.

While Dickert’s return to the land of cheese and lager beer is a great story, he won’t be the only Cougar celebrating a little bit of homecoming this weekend.

“Don’t get me wrong, Madison isn’t sky scrapers and all that stuff,” Wisconsin transfer running back Nakia Watson told the media after practice on Tuesday, “but it’s definitely a bigger city than Pullman.”

Watson was looking for a change of scenery when he left Wisconsin and transferred to Washington State following the 2020 season.
