Adidas Football has unveiled its prestigious adizero 7 Class, a select group of high school football athletes chosen as brand ambassadors for their exceptional talent and potential. Among the elite athletes named to this exclusive roster is Winston Watkins Jr., a dynamic wide receiver whose electrifying play has garnered attention from just about every school in the U.S. Watkins Jr.'s selection to the adizero 7 Class highlights his standing as one of the most promising young talents in high school football. The honor recognizes his on-field prowess and acknowledges his potential as a brand ambassador for Adidas, representing the company's values of excellence, innovation, and athleticism.


With a social media following of over 400k between TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter, Winston Watkins Jr. is built for this era of college football and NIL landscape. He has his own Youtube channel with 20k plus followers and he's already committed to Deion Sanders. Yeah you read that right. Some have compared Watkins Jr. to Tyreek Hill for good reason. His versatility allows him to line up both outside and in the slot, providing his team with flexibility and options in their offensive schemes. Watkins can and will take the top off of a defense with blinding speed, but the magic he creates in the slot after the catch is wide receiver coach's wildest dream. The Watkins family name rings bells. Watkins cousin Sammy was an absolute beast at Clemson, an 8 yr NFL vet Watkins Jr. other cousin Austin starred at UAB and was signed by San Francisco as an undrafted free agent.


Watkins Jr.'s scouting report has him standing at 5-10, 180 pounds but bro plays way bigger. He's not only nice at wideout but equally as amazing at cornerback and the return game. Any school he's played at from IMG to First Baptist Academy and now Venice HS, he's torched the competition. As a member of the adizero 7 Class, Watkins Jr. will have the opportunity to collaborate with Adidas on various marketing initiatives and campaigns, amplifying his personal brand and reaching a broader audience of fans and supporters. No slight to all the adizero 7 Class, but Watkins Jr. is one we can't wait to watch on Saturdays and eventually on Sundays.
