The 6-foot-2, 170-pound dual-threat quarterback also has offers from NC State, Vanderbilt and UCF.

Watson has already visited Clemson, and has also been to Florida, Tennessee and Alabama.

However, it appears that the Tigers have made the strongest impression early.

"Clemson is the leader," Watson told MaxPreps.

He's a shoe-in for the U.S. Air Force Sophomore All-American Team, which will be released next week.
