“He had a great spring at over 500 reps,” Coombs said. “He is tall. He is the tallest corner that I’ve ever coached, but he is able to transition his body in short-space quickness. He’s got long speed. Because of his length, I think getting his hands on wide receivers at the line of scrimmage will be of paramount importance to him. He has the ability to have range in zone. Sometimes when you have that big wingspan, you can get your hands on balls. So those taller guys can also do that in zone coverage.”

Watts checks in at 6-foot-3 with the wingspan of a pterodactyl, and it’s certainly uncommon for guys with his size to thrive at a position that requires so much intricate footwork and quickness. The sophomore certainly is proving in a hurry that he’s got the skills needed to play that role for Ohio State, though, and that will potentially make him even more valuable in the secondary considering the advantages his rangy frame can provide down the field.

“He had a great spring at over 500 reps,” Coombs said after camp in April. “He is tall.
