Javante Watson from Bastrop is the only guy off the top of my head. Haven't heard much about him in the offseason though, I'm not sure he's camped at all.

BASTROP — Headed by defending national champion Alabama, Jevante Watson is attracting an impressive list of suitors.

Watson, who plans to be on the Tuscaloosa campus for camp this weekend, also has offers from Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Arkansas, Tennessee and Missouri, among others.

When asked if he was leaning toward a particular school following Monday’s workout at Bastrop High, Watson replied, “Not just yet.”

Watson has played cornerback, safety, wide receiver and running back during his prep career. Most schools are courting the 6-0, 180-pounder as a defensive back.

A 2.7 student with a 23 ACT score, Watson is academically qualified.

In his first season as a defensive starter, Watson recorded 39 tackles with one pick for the Rams in 2009. Offensively, Watson rushed for 177 yards on 25 carries and caught 14 passes for 240 stripes, while scoring a team-high 10 touchdowns (7 rushing, 2 receiving, 1 fumble return).

Watson was moved from cornerback to safety during spring practice.

He is listed as a three-star recruit by rivals.com.

7 on 7: While Watson is headed to Alabama, his BHS teammates will compete in the Jacob Hester/Landers Dodge National 7 on 7 Tournament Thursday-Saturday in Shreveport.

While the complete schedule had yet to be finalized as of Thursday night, the Rams will be paired against LaGrange, St. Frederick and the Texas trio of Waskom, Haltom and Belton in pool play.
