A quarterback committed to Nebraska’s 2023 recruiting class will be visiting Lincoln this weekend. Three-star recruit William Watson III committed to Nebraska in late February and was personally recruited by new Cornhusker offensive coordinator Mark Whipple. Watson announced via social media that he would be visiting Lincoln, Nebraska, this weekend.
Watson is a talented dual-threat quarterback. In 2021, Watson threw for 2026 yards and 22 touchdowns while running for 590 yards and seven touchdowns, leading Central High to a 10-2 mark and the Massachusetts Division 1 State title. The 6’0″ 175-pound recruit is a 3-star by all three primary recruiting services.
