WATSON ON MICHIGAN STATE:
“The energy and enthusiasm I felt from the staff made me want to stay home! GO GREEN!”
COACH TUCKER ON WATSON:
“Tyson has great size and length for a defensive lineman. He’s tall, long and powerful, and he’s a smart, consistent player with big-time potential. He’s got good build, bulk and strength, and can push the pocket with power and instincts. He knows how to get to an edge of a blocker and be disruptive in the back field, and he also has the lateral strength and stoutness to stay square at the line of scrimmage. I love his length and build, you just can’t have enough of these big guys in your program.”
