So. Florida's Kickoff Classic Top 8th Grader Performers: Palm Glades Preparatory Academy (Miami,
Miami, FLA. -- The first year football program -- located in Southwest Miami-Dade -- that's roughly five minutes away from Division one feeder, Miami Southridge, just to go more in-depth -- has one of the top versatile play-makers in South Florida for the class of 2021.
The Eagles' eight-grader, Watts standing 5-foot-8, 140 pounds, contributed on offense at quarterback, wide receiver and returner on his varsity debut vs. Inlet Grove Community High School. The extremely talented speedy athlete would punch it in from five yards out at on a designed quarterback keeper, and later score his second touchdown at wide receiver, racing 55 yards into the end zone.
Watts' high school debut, would be unforgettable, accumulating 120 all-purpose yards and 2 touchdowns. At the youth ranks -- the past two past seasons. The Florida City Razorbacks product from the Greater Miami Pop Warner Conference -- would make a name for himself as spectators, coaches and media from Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties -- would watch the Exit 1 star meaning Florida City, FL -- put on a show participating in the Miami Dolphins' Dade vs. Broward All-Stars Game.

Note: Missing seconf touchdown
Dade All-Stars QB Torey "Scooter" Morrison (varsity starter at Keys Gate Charter) would connect twice with his fall teammate, speedy slot receiver Cedarius Watts for two long touchdowns.
Watts, would finished the game as the overall leading receiver in yards and touchdowns. This upcoming week on Wednesday at 7:30pm at Southridge Stadium -- the Eagles will challenge 3A classification Everglades Preparatory, who also has an eight-grader who starts on varsity at running back and defensive back named Sirr Daye (5-10, 185).
Didn't be surprised if this eight-grader enters next fall with a verbal college football offer next to his name. One thing you can't coach is speed, and play-making ability after the catch. Watts, also displayed is special teams upside on the varsity level -- as he fielded a kick and returned it nearly 35 yards.
The Eagles' "Swiss Army Knive" is showing college football coaches his upside the next four years as he's proven early, that's a versatile athlete after scoring at quarterback, wide receiver and there's a great possibility, a touchdown or two, will be added to the stat sheet by the end of the season.
