Washington County's Watts leaning toward Tech | Football recruiting | ajc.com

Georgia Tech is the early favorite to land a commitment from Washington County junior Brandon Watts.

The 6-foot-2, 215-pound linebacker has scholarship offers from the Jackets, Auburn, Clemson and N.C. State.

Tech and new coach Paul Johnson earned high marks from Watts during his junior day visit earlier this month.

“I got to meet coach Johnson,” Watts said. “He’s a really good guy. We got to take a tour of the campus and went to a basketball game.

“I really like the big city.”

Watts, who resides in Tennille and is a power forward for the Washington County basketball team, said he’s trying to arrange visits to other colleges around his winter sports schedule.

Though Tech is his front-runner, it’s unlikely he’ll commit anytime soon.

“I’m just taking my time,” he said.
