Atlanta cornerback has high interest in Gamecocks after visit

One of the new cornerback targets for USC is Dequanteous Watts (6-1 171) of Atlanta.  He picked up an offer from the Gamecocks last week and Saturday he was in to watch them perform against UT-Chattanooga.  Watts was committed to UCF but he decommitted from the Knights Sunday night.

"It went good last night," Watts said.  "I spent the night at South Carolina so I saw them again this morning. Players, coaches, fans (stood out the most) and I saw them playing freshmen too."

Watts said he talked about the game with head coach Will Muschamp, defensive coordinator Travaris Robinson and his recruiter Bryan McClendon.  He met again Sunday with Muschamp and McClendon before heading home.  He said the coaches like what he could bring to their defense. 

"Very physical and I bring a lot speed to the defensive side of the ball and I have great length.  I think I can fit in with that (USC defense), competition-wise and playing-wise and everything else about it."

Watts is not in a hurry because he won't sign until February.  He also plans to visit Georgia and Auburn and he will return to USC for an official visit in January.
