Ourlads' Profile:

2020 Guide: What Ourlads' Scouting Services said about QUEZ WATKINS: Southern Mississippi, 6001 185 4.36. Junior entry, two-year starter, Athens, AL. Earned first-team All Conference USA honors in both 2018 and 2019. An explosive straight line athlete who can put his foot in the ground and burst. Shows plenty of potential as an inside-out threat that will need to develop his route running and ball skills. His progress over the past two seasons is an encouraging sign and if that rate continues, he can be a game breaker at the next level. There is also return specialist potential that will make it easier for him to make a roster initially. Explosive from a standstill and able to cut sharp and precise as a route runner. Consistently gains and lengthens separation on all levels of the route tree. Intense, fiery player who will compete. Has plus length for his frame and will play bigger than his listed size. Can see the field well after the catch, anticipating the defenders angles and will outrun them into space. Has homerun ability every time he touches the ball. Extreme suddenness that will translate to yards after the catch. Gets knocked off his line by physical press corners. Needs more presence in contested situations. Not as loose below the waist as he can be, too much of a straight line burst athlete. Hands are inconsistent, eyes are often late. Needs to show more urgency in getting his head around. Will let the ball too deep into his body. 2019 stats: 63-1145, 18.2 ypr, 6 TD. OSR:7/51. Sixth/seventh round. (A-32 7/8, H-9, VJ-36.5, SS-4.36).
