During his first two years of high school, Watson attended Athens High School in The Plains, Ohio. He was a basketball teammate of Joe Burrow.[1] For his junior season, Watson transferred to Pickerington High School Central in Pickerington, Ohio.[2] He averaged 19.2 points through two years at the school and earned First Team Division I All-Ohio honors as a senior.[3] He initially committed to playing college basketball for Michigan over offers from Dayton and Indiana, among others.[4]
As a freshman at Michigan, Watson served as a reserve and received limited minutes.[5] He averaged 2.2 points in 5.2 minutes per game as a sophomore, helping his team to the 2018 National Championship Game.[6] After the season, Watson transferred to the University of Dayton and found a great home. Watson sat out his next year due to transfer rules.[7] During the 2019-2020 season, Watson served as the sixth man and averaged 10.1 points per game and shot nearly 40% from three-point range. On December 23, 2019, he scored a career-high 30 points in an 81–53 win over Grambling State.[8] As a junior, he was a critical piece in helping Dayton achieve a Top 3 NCAA ranking, and a program-record 29 wins.[9]
As a senior, Watson was named to the Third Team All-Atlantic 10.[10] He finished 10th in the conference in scoring (15.8) and third in three-point field-goal percentage and three-pointers made (.427, 61-143).[11]
After going undrafted in the 2021 NBA draft, Watson joined the Atlanta Hawks for the 2021 NBA Summer League, posting 8 points in 20 minutes on 3-7 shooting at his debut, a 85-83 loss against the Boston Celtics.[12] On October 12, he signed a contract with the Hawks,[13] but was waived three days later.[14] In October 2021, Watson signed with the College Park Skyhawks.[15]
