Devin Watson had a successful career at Wofford, changing from a quarterback in his prep days to a cornerback and earned four letters and was named an All-American by Hero Sports. He helped lead the Terriers to Southern Conference championships in 2017 and 2018 as well as three FCS Playoff quarterfinals.

Watson currently holds two program records at Wofford – FCS playoff interceptions and longest return for a touchdown.

Following his graduation in 2019 with a degree in economics, Watson took first a graduate position at Shorter University, then was promoted to the team’s full-time defensive backs coach following the 2019 campaign. Under his guidance, Shorter’s defensive backs intercepted seven passes and broke up 21 passes.

Watson then became the defensive backs coach and special teams coordinator at Limestone University. While there, their opponents’ punt return average dropped by 10 yards, helped develop a former walk-on player to an all-conference selection and saw his defensive backs record 23 pass breakups and six interceptions while dropping the opposing passing average to 177 yards per game.
