Aidan Watson '25 Recruiting Profile

Hi, my name is Aidan Watson and I'm a 2025 graduate from Northampton Area High School in Northampton, Pennsylvania. Since I was a kid, my parents have said that I always had a football in my hands and I've always dreamed of playing collegiate football. Throughout my years of school, I've had negative comments made towards me. At first, I wasn't sure how to take it, but I learned from my parents and loved ones to use it as motivation. I've learned to let the negative things people say go in one ear and out the other. I may be small, but like my father has always said, my heart is big. People find my speed disbelieving, but I take every chance that I get to prove that I'm a great football player. In fifth grade, I had a coach who was one of the best athletes in my high school. He always believed in me, even when I didn't. Later that year, he moved to California, which was hard for me. I talk to him all the time, and he pushes me from thousands of miles away. My friends are my best supporters, and I only have a few, but for a good reason. We mess with one another all the time, but at the end of the day, we're like family. I don't know how I would get to high school without them. They are always there for me, making sure I'm not being messed with, and believe it or not, I do the same even though I'm a foot shorter than them. My coaches are awesome and I couldn't ask for a better group. Our head coach is like a father to all of us, and we mess with him, and he sure does mess with us back. They all push us like no other, and I'm used to being screamed at, so it doesn't faze me. My father and grandfather were in the Marines, so I don't believe there is anything worse than growing up like a recruit. I'm well-disciplined in the classroom and am on the honor roll. I'm very good at maintaining my grades as well as working out five days a week and working on the field when I can. Well, that's all I have today for you. I appreciate you reading and learning about me! Thank you, and I hope you enjoyed.
