Watts opened the season as a starter at corner and played 49 snaps against Minnesota, according to Eleven Warriors, but he played only 73 defensive snaps the rest of the regular season, the majority of which came in garbage time. He ended the year with 6 tackles, 2 pass breakups, and 2 interceptions.
A Texas native, the former 4-star prospect had 5 tackles and appearances in all 7 games for the Buckeyes as a true freshman in 2020.
