Rush Through the Roster: #53 Elkino Watson

#53 - Elkino Watson - 6-2 287-pounds - DT - Sophomore - Miami, FL (Booker T. Washington HS)

2011 stats:  Watson appeared in all 12 games for the Bulls, starting 1 game.  He made his first collegiate tackle at Notre Dame.  He finished the season with 33 tackles, 9 tackles for loss, 1 sack, and 2 QBHs.

Position on the depth chart: Watson is listed as the second starting defensive tackle coming out of the spring.

2012 projection:  Watson surprised many last year when he decided to come to USF and quickly made an impact on the field.  With Cory Grissom out for 3-months, Watson saw plenty of action with the 1st team defense during the spring and could be a starter this fall if Grissom is not ready by then.  He is a very explosive player and will only build on his great freshman season.  With his size and skill set, he should improve upon his freshmen year in 2012.
