Top Uncommitted Spotlight: 2025 Jordan Watkins
January 17, 2024
With 2023 now in the rearview mirror, we continue our coverage of the talented Nevada Community with Uncommitted Spotlights on some of the top prospects still on the board from the past events. With the calendar now flipped and the high school season on the horizon, there's plenty of high-end talent across the State still on the board and we continue to highlight some of those players below.
These spotlights are used to help paint a clearer picture of the prospect with the help of our TrackMan, Blast Motion, Swift Performance and Vizual Edge systems, that provides objective data that teams to identify and break down players that they believe will fit into their system.
Today, we continue the spotlight series with a breakdown of North Valleys product, 2025 Jordan Watkins, who flashed his two-way potential over the past year, including at the 2023 PBR Future Games in Georgia.
