PORT HURON — For the second time in three days, a Port Huron Northern high school football player signed a letter-of-intent to play at the NCAA Division I level.
On Friday, Dec. 5, it was Lincoln Watkins’ turn.
The 6-foot-4, 230-pound tight end officially committed to the University of Kentucky during a ceremony at Northern High School.
As a senior this past season, Watkins finished with 45 receptions for 713 yards and five touchdowns. He also ran for 134 yards and eight touchdowns on 35 attempts.
Defensively, at linebacker, Watkins totaled 45 tackles, two interceptions and one blocked punt.
In 2024, after his junior season, the two-way starter was named to the Michigan Sports Writers all-state first team for Division 1-2. The 2025 all-state teams will be released later this month.
