<\/p>\nCORPUS CHRISTI, Texas \u2014 The fall 2026 football season features a solid senior receiver class in the Coastal Bend. That’s why we’re highlighting five seniors in our third annual KRIS Super 6 Showcase, a combine-like environment that will air Aug. 20 at 6:30 p.m. on KRIS 6.<\/p>\n
Last fall Flour Bluff’s Ransom Watson led the Hornets receivers and tight ends in touchdowns and receiving yards. That\u2019s why he\u2019s been named to our KRIS Super 6 Showcase.<\/p>\n
\u201cI like to compete. Like I\u2019ll go out there and compete anyone,” Watson said. “No matter how big you are or how much better you think you are than me. I\u2019m going to go out there and compete and give it my all.\u201d<\/p>\n
Watson totaled 920 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns as a junior. His longest catch and run went for 70 yards, but it took more than offseason drills to help him excel.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust doing like routes on air with your quarterback or throwing with him one-on-one and just talking to them,” Watson said. “Like not even on the field, but like off the field hanging out. For me I\u2019ve realized that chemistry is a big thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
His knowledge of the game and understanding of the plays carries over to his academics. The senior has a 3.4 GPA.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving a high football IQ allows him to be much more multiple and play like a tight end position, the slip position as an inside receiver outside of the box,\u201d said Flour Bluff football head coach Clynton Elwood.<\/p>\n
Football was not always the dream for Watson. He picked up a ball in fourth grade thanks to his neighbor Danny Williams.<\/p>\n
\u201cI grew up skateboarding and surfing and all of that,” Watson said. “Then he saw how big I was and he was like \u2018you should play football\u2019. I was like \u2019I\u2019ve never even thrown a football in my life\u2019. He threw a football with me, talked to my mom and got us into playing football.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now Watson sees himself playing college ball. He\u2019s definitely got the size sitting at 6-feet and 186 lbs.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would say it helped me a lot getting separation and using my body,” Watson said. “Showing them that no matter what they do, they can\u2019t take me down.\u201d<\/p>\n
However what sets him apart is his leadership, participating in the team\u2019s leadership committee and volunteering around the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cPart of our mentor program with our fifth and sixth graders,” Elwood said. “Even during football season on Wednesday mornings, right after morning workout, they\u2019ll head to intermediate and they\u2019ll go directly into classrooms and help out. Whatever the principal and teachers need.\u201d<\/p>\n

That effort from Watson stems from his pride for Hornet nation.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s like a family here, and that\u2019s one thing I love about it,” Watson said. “They build you on the field and off the field. Get you ready for life, even after football.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The KRIS Super 6 Showcase features Watson alongside Carroll\u2019s Steven McChester, King\u2019s Damon Smith, Orange Grove\u2019s Daniel Martinez and Three Rivers\u2019 Ethan Conn. Catch the Showcase on Thursday, Aug. 20 at 6:30 p.m. on KRIS 6.<\/p>\n
