Clemson star Watkins arrested on drug charges

“I stay in,” Watkins, the 6-foot-1, 200-pound wideout from Fort Myers, Fla., said last September. “I go to class, football, I stay in the house most of the time.”

Watkins is considered the centerpiece of Clemson’s high-flying offense, which set school records with more than 440 yards a game, 58 touchdowns and 470 points.

“I will learn from this,” Watkins said.

Watkins is the second receiver to get arrested this offseason. Wideout Joe Craig was dismissed from the program in February after his arrest for criminal domestic violence.
