Watson, who also was being recruited by the University of Akron, was ready to make the commitment to the “Mean Green,” but he didn’t get an offer from the coaching staff before heading back home and was preparing himself to move 1,400 miles away to continue his football career.

“I was a little disappointed,” Watson said. “And worried.”

His phone rang during the return trip.

McCarney was on the other end.

“He told me that after I left he had watched some more game film on me, against Abilene High, and that he wanted to offer me a scholarship,” Watson said. “I said yes pretty fast.”

Watson made it official Wednesday when he signed a national letter of intent to play at North Texas next season.

“They are going to move me to defensive tackle and want me to come in at about 280 pounds,” the 6-foot-3, 250-pound senior added. “So it’s time to hit the weights and do a lot of squats to get my legs in shape for playing in the middle of the line.”

I was hoping we signed the IBM supercomputer.... But I'll settle for a kid this size that is happy to be a part of the mean green legacy. Welcome home buddy.

At the signing day event on Wednesday night Coach Mac mentioned this young man and his family. He said that in addition to getting his name on a letter of intent his dad sent a check for $37,000 for six Club Level seats. Now THAT is being excited.

Wait--was it Dutton Watson's father or Dustin Clark's father who bought the 6 club-level seats?

Wait.. You mean a family member of an NCAA athlete paid an institution to see his son play? Instead of said institution paying his family for him to play? Where am I? Welcome aboard young man.

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
