COACH REED ON WATSON
“Colton is a terrific addition to our program,” said Reed. “He brings size, athleticism, and skill to our offensive and defensive attack. Colton has the opportunity to impact the game in different ways than some of his teammates because of his athleticism and ability to score in so many ways on the basketball court. He’s demonstrated leadership as well as very high academic performance through his high school career. We’re pleased to bring such a strong student and person who will bolster our campus community with his personality and approach.”
