Armani Watts recruit updates: 2014 athlete

BEAVERTON, Oregon -- One of the top defensive backs in the state of Texas is North Forney athlete Armani Watts, a dynamic player with the ball in his hands at the high school level.

But will he be making the move to offense in college? And why did he pick the Aggies over a host of other offers that included Clemson, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and UCLA?

With two defensive back commits and one of the top quarterbacks in the country set to represent the Aggies at The Opening, Texas A&M is serving notice that they are here to stay on the national stage.

QB Kyle Allen, Scottsdale (Ariz.) Desert Mountain: Allen is one of the most advanced, college-ready quarterbacks in the class of 2014. The 6’3, 190-pounder is a consensus four-star quarterback because of his consistent, professional mechanics and footwork. It’s clear Allen has been the beneficiary of excellent quarterback coaching, as he makes far fewer mistakes than most top quarterback prospects. Allen passed for 3,119 yards and 36 touchdowns as a junior with only seven interceptions. He had over 20 college offers, including Arizona, Arizona State, Notre Dame, Ohio State and UCLA, before committing to the Texas A&M Aggies. He was also high on recruiting lists because of his 3.9 GPA. He was the fourth QB to be invited to the Elite 11 as well as the Opening. Allen is on Twitter @KyleAllen_10.

Name: Armani Watts

High school and hometown: Watts is from North Forney High School in Forney, Texas.
