Could use some great momentum for 2014. Would be tremendous to get an early QB on board.

Sounds like butch has a chance to get him. I'm curious to see how the class will look in 2014. We will know how good a recruiter butch jones is by then.

Great report, Ryan. Looking forward to see how this 14 class comes together, and like Texassee mentioned, Watson could create positive momentum.

man, i know 2014 is a long ways off....but i just read this and got really, really excited. He's exactly the type of QB CBJ could use. Good passer, good runner, and EXCITED about the offense he'd be running. Having A.J could really be a huge deal...great player and an in with a great QB...man, he's just the recruit that keeps on giving.
GO VOLS!!

Watson could be a special player and a great catalyst to Tennessee's comeback. When a recruit mentions "academics...", that adds another star to his ratings.

Refreshing to see the potential of our roster getting better and better over the next few years. Watson appears to be a great fit for the Pro Style offense CBJ runs.

Seems a much better fit for the Spread!!! But he may can do it all. This is not the first time we have heard his name. He would be a nice catch in the 14 class but a lot of water will run over the dam before then.

Agreed alot of time between now and 2014, BUT as I said....Refreshing to see the potential of our roster getting better and better over the next few years. Key word "potential".

Would be huge to snag a QB commitment like this earlier than later. This kid broke some big time records in Georgia. Good size, too. Hope he changes his commitment to the most beautiful shade of orange!
