Hunter Watson News: Clearly Sam Houston's starter

Published on August 23, 2025

Watson went 19-for-30 for 209 yards and an interception against WKU on Saturday, but he also ran 14 times for 91 yards and a score.

New Sam Houston head coach Phil Longo did the co-starter thing on the depth chart. However, Watson saw all the action for the Bearkats with Mabrey Mettauer not contributing. You can expect Watson, Sam Houston's starter last season, to be under center against UNLV in the team's next game.
