'20 NE WR Xavier Watts (Notre Dame Man)

[IA4irish]

Bet he is glad the staff got him into the Safety position, though.


Amazing game. Last I saw such a ballhawk it was Manti Teo....

Not Kyle Hamilton?

Not Kyle Hamilton?

Good point but did Kyle have a single game better than this one v USC?

Not even close. But your comment said “last I saw such a ballhawk.” I thought you were talking about general knack for finding the ball

 

[BilboBaggins]

He has one more year of eligibility right?

That FSU game he was phenomenal with those 2 picks

 

[Rockin’Irish]

Yes

No. But I did once.

 

[T-Boone]

The only comparable game I can think of was last year Morrison v Clemson. Hopefully Watts goes on to have a similar remainder of the season to what BM had last year. QBs will be to terrified to pass.

Kyle McCarthy against BC in 2009?

Harrison Smith vs Miami in 2010

Kyle McCarthy against BC in 2009?

Including the stiff arm of the referee in order to stay inbounds on late pick return.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Does he have a COVID year left?

 

[SaltyND24]

Lambert vs. MSU 2006??? Believe that was the year, what a comeback that game was!

That game sent John L. Smith off the deep end. He totally lost his marbles that night.

I was there. Great comeback.

Man it’s so good to him succeed at safety after the amount of times he’s been bounced around by the coaches. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy.

Yeah but now he needs to chill out lol. Need a "stay" grade.

 

[Irishman77]

Making some serious money. Way to go Watts!!!

Yessir. Amazing to watch.

 

[NDFAN2008]

Okay he’s gonna be a 1-3 round pick

 

[NorthDakota]

Watts is him

 

[IA4irish]

Yeah he is leaving. His stock is way too high at this point. Good for him. He was pulled around the first couple of years and could’ve transferred. One of my favorite players

 

[NDMatt91]

Unless he's a 1st round pick, which I'm not sold on, ND should do everything possible to keep him. If you're not gonna buy recruits then you have to drop bags for grad transfers and to keep players who aren't 1st round picks in school.

I agree, but he might be a first-round pick at this point.

that would be awesome.

 

[irishff1014]

He is another one we are probably gonna miss next year.

 

[T-Boone]

after about week 4 I remember Goolsby made a comment that Watts has been a bit disappointing this year. Hahaha.

 

[T-Boone]

Now has 6 interceptions which is number 1 in college football unless someone else on the leaderboard had a big game today.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Somewhere Driskell is probably still arguing he should be a wr

The one saving grace is he's a Free Safety which isn't a premium position. The top safety last year didnt go until the mid-2nd round, and only 3 were taken in the first 3 rounds.

Pre-NIL I would guess he'd be gone but Watts is the perfect example of a player FUND should be opening the pocketbooks for.
