10/16/20 - Kenyatta Watson II, rSr/2025, Georgia State, 6-1, 185 (DS#17 FS) + More +

Texas defensive back Kenyatta Watson II will transfer to Georgia Tech, the redshirt freshman announced on Monday. Shortly after Watson's announcement, Texas removed his name from its roster. A reserve in two of Texas' first three games this season, Watson reportedly entered the NCAA's transfer portal earlier this month. When asked about Watson last week, Texas defensive coordinator Chris Ash said "That's just a personal choice that he made. We love Kenyatta, love his family. It's part of college football. Wish him nothing but success with what he chooses to do." A Georgia native, the 6-1, 184-pound Watson was regarded as a four-star talent when he signed with Texas in 2019. - Austin American Statesman

10/09/20 - Kenyatta Watson II, rSr/2025, Georgia State, 6-1, 185 (DS#17 FS) + More +

Texas Longhorns redshirt freshman cornerback Kenyatta Watson II intends to enter the NCAA transfer portal, according to a report from Inside Texas and confirmed by other outlets on Sunday. The 6'1, 184-pounder from Georgia powerhouse Grayson High School in Loganville, Watson was a consensus four-star prospect in the 2019 recruiting class who was ranked as the No. 131 player and No. 16 cornerback, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. A one-time Florida State commit, Watson held more than 40 offers when he committed to Texas in 2018. The son of a former NFL player, Watson arrived at Texas as an elite athlete - he ran a 4.50 40-yard dash, a 4.12 shuttle, and a 45.2-inch vertical leap. As a freshman, Watson played in four games to preserve his redshirt, recording six tackles and one pass breakup. - Burnt Orange Nation
