It didn’t take long for 2018 athlete Justin Watkins to jump on a huge opportunity from LSU.

The Tigers picked up Watkins’ commitment the same day they extended the offer. The Florida native is one of the top recruits in the ’18 recruiting class.

“That’s my college team,” Watkins told 247Sports. “It’s the school I grew up liking. I’ve always liked LSU. It’s the one (offer) I’ve always wanted. My mom said she’s always dreamed of her son one day graduating in the gold and purple.”

Watkins’ high school coach called him dynamic, and his 6-0, 165-pound frame will only get bigger and stronger as his high school career develops.

LSU continues its strong presence in the Sunshine State. Watkins becomes the Tigers’ second commitment for the 2018 recruiting class.
