OFFERED> WINSTON WALKINS, JR 2025 5' 9" 175 WR 4 STAR**** FIRST BAPTIST ACADEMY
NAPLES, FL

2022: As a sophomore, caught 25 passes for 393 yards and 10 TDs at IMG Academy.
2021: Transferred into Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy for freshman season. Worked primarily as a reserve wideout for the national team.

From 247 Sports:

EVALUATED 08/19/2022​

Andrew Ivins DIRECTOR OF SCOUTING

PROJECTION​

Power-5 Starter
A slot receiver with some juice that has already established himself as one of the top offensive playmakers in the class of 2025 following numerous strong showings on the offseason camp circuit. Produced as an eighth grader at the varsity level before enrolling at the powerhouse that is IMG Academy. Might be under 5-foot-9 and weigh less than 180 pounds, but still finds ways to get the job done. Pretty advanced as a route runner for his age. Mixes gears well and understands how to create separation with quick cuts or little head fakes. Seems to catch most of the stuff that comes his way and does a nice job of tracking the football down the field before adjusting to make the play. Difficult to corral in a tunnel and will use his burst to jet away from would-be tacklers. Will need to eventually add some body armor if he wants to block and fend off college-sized defensive backs at some point down the line, but has the speed and quickness to emerge as a chunk-play machine at the Power Five level. Destined to find success in a spread attack that has plenty of screens and swing passes in the playbook. Could double as a return man given his ability to make people miss in tight quarters.

FILM SHOWS HIM AT IMG ACADEMY IN JUNE 2023.
RUNS GOOD ROUTES.
CATCHES THE BALL
GREAT HANDS

Did Nick Williams recruit him to Colorado?

 

[Cusefan69]

So great talent wants to play with great talent. If we can get this guy on campus at the same time with some other higher ranking players, I could honestly see Fran, ERob and Nick pulling a helluva class. Now we need dubs in Sept, Oct and Nov to keep that future class together but the 2024 schedule is built for great success if things work out right. Bringing a guy in like Watkins is now up to the level of "its possible " and I am here to watch how it all shakes out. Being excited about SU football in January is a good feeling.

[bnoro]

He's been committed to TAMU and Colorado already, and has attended 3 high schools. Not sure we'll know where this kid is really going until he signs on the dotted line.

Probably Stony Brook.

The fact we have a top 15 player on campus (a second timecause kj bolden was too I believe) is absolutely unbelievable. We legitimately are going to land a top 50 recruit in football before long and I never imagined that in my lifetime. Absolutely amazing just getting these guys here.

Great sleuthing here! Thanks.

It's only a matter of time before we land a top rated talent like this. Will he be the first?

 

[gbo]

Not sure if anyone is aware but he is the cousin of Clemson great Sammy Watkins.
