Hunter Watson News: Listed as co-starter

Watson is listed as a co-starter on Sam Houston's depth chart along with Mabrey Mettauer, per Sports of SHSU.

Watson started for the Bearkats last season, tossing for 1,811 yards, 12 touchdowns and eight interceptions while completing 62.4 percent of his passes. He also added 647 rushing yards and nine scores on the ground. However, it appears he has yet to secure the starting job, as he's listed as an "OR" on the depth chart alongside Wisconsin transfer Mabrey Mettauer. While Watson seems the presumed favorite to trot out under center for the opener and claim the majority of reps, Sam Houston head coach Phil Longo likely has a soft spot for Mettauer, as he recruited him to Madison when he was the Badgers' offensive coordinator.
