How It Went: Salem’s Sam Watts visits SEC school

Salem offensive lineman Sam Watts felt like part of the Mississippi State family Saturday night when the Bulldogs hosted Southeastern Louisiana.

It was the tackle’s third visit to Starkville to attend a game, but his first since committing to the Bulldogs earlier this year.

“The experience was a lot better than I could have imagined,” said Watts, a member of the AJC’s The Georgia Top 150.

“It was just Southeastern Louisiana, but they had a big crowd and you could hear the cowbells ringing.”

Watts, who sat in the recruiting section behind the Mississippi State bench, felt as though he was standing on the sideline.

“I know the guys on the team a lot more, and it means something knowing that they’ll be my future teammates,” he said. “When they made a mistake, it really hit me hard too.

“And before the game, I met with the coaches. It was pretty cool just to look around on the field and think ‘next year, I’ll be out here.’”

Watts hopes to be at Bobby Dodd Stadium on Sep. 20 when Georgia Tech hosts Mississippi State.
