Three-Star 2024 Wide Receiver Jaylen Watson Names UC as Top-Five School

CINCINNATI — The Bearcats are in the top-five schools for three-star 2024 Central Catholic (Ohio) wide receiver Jaylen Watson.

Iowa, Minnesota, West Virginia, and Maryland are also involved. He is committing on July 8. Iowa is a heavy favorite on 247Sports and On3 to land Watson.

According to 247Sports, Watson is the 1,018th-ranked player nationally and the 103rd-ranked wide receiver. Cincinnati offered him over a year ago, and he's visited campus multiple times before most recently on March 6.

Watson could be a great slot weapon at Cincinnati. The 5-foot-10, 165-pound talent is a shifty route runner with great hands. The speed is palpable on film.

Watson gets used in plenty of different looks, including the slot and outside. He'll bring a great release to the field from Day One in Clifton. That's arguably his most impressive trait, often sneaking away from defenders early in routes.
