Everybody knows that J.J. Watt transferred to Wisconsin from Central Michigan. What many don’t know was that Watt actually decommitted from Central Michigan initially when Brian Kelly left for Cincinnati. He explained how he actually was committed to join Glen Mason at Minnesota, but then he was fired. Watt explained this all on the “Dan Patrick Show” on Monday morning. You can go to the 5:30-mark to hear him explain it.
