Scouting Report

July 29, 2026

Antonio Watts #9

Louisville · LB · R-Sr · 2027 Draft · Columbus, GA · Carver

6-2 · 225 lbs

6.2

Priority UDFA

Floor 5.5 · Ceiling 6.5

#397 overall · #43 LB of 15102

Scouting Verdict

The heartbeat of the defense — three years of production capped by a three-INT 2025, and the staff openly calls him an NFL guy. A productive, instinctive ACC starter whose draft case is tempered by a late-2025 knee injury and average measurables.

Ceiling · 6.5

Projected 2026 starter (LB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.3) · up-year team · ACC draft-temper · LB lower-value.

Floor · 5.5

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.7.
