The Spartans have had their run-ins with players decommitting, including Gabe Nealy (committed to South Florida) and three-star tight end Jake Renda.
He is now committed to Pittsburgh and former MSU defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi.
On August 21, three-star cornerback Charles Brantley did the same thing, ensuring fans neither of them would leave the Spartans.
According to 247Sports Composite Rankings, Watson is a top-20 recruit in Michigan and the No. 46 prospect at his position for 2021.
Allen Trieu, a national recruiting analyst, said he is "On the leaner side but has a good start as far as weight and bulk. Makes plays in the backfield and does so with good get-off. Pursues and runs well for a bigger prospect. Still leaning more technique and must improve with his hands. Needs to play meaner at times. Could project to defensive end or offensive tackle in college. Frame and athleticism give him upside. Will need some developmental time but has Power 5 tools."
The Spartans offered Watson on April 6, and he committed ten days later on the 17th.
