Named to five All-American teams (all first team), he also set the game record with 320 yards on 19 carries with five TDs in a win over Minnesota State Moorhead. Watson, who had three games of 200 yards or more, led the NSIC in rushing and had the top rushing average of 7.3 yards per carry, while his running mate in the backfield Colton Myles finished sixth in the league with 117 carries for 731 yards and five TDs.
