Seamount QB Watkins searches for a winning feeling (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/highschoolsports/2003234019_seamount30.html)

...Watkins, 6 feet 1, 200 pounds, has developed into more than just a solid player. The versatile athlete, who can play quarterback, running back and anywhere in the defensive backfield, already has offers from Kentucky, where his father lives, and Oregon State....

...Brown is also impressed with Anthony's twin brother, Brian, a running back/defensive back who broke an ankle during his first play last year.

Anthony and Brian live with their mom, Iris, but spend summers in Kentucky with their father, Garland, who was a track and football star at Franklin.

"I've got a lot to live up to because of him," Anthony said of his father. "People say he was one of the greatest athletes to come out of the state of Washington."

Anthony, who also plays basketball and runs track, has remained loyal to the school in lieu of transferring to a more successful football program.

"I'm just trying to help change the program around," he said. "I think me and my brother and the other players, we can do it."

Thanks for the link, Andy.

Too, for those who did not open the link, UK has offered Watkins. Since his father lives in Kentucky and the young man spends summers with him, here's hoping we have a great chance of landing this player as an "athlete."
