June 23, 2018
Coach Chad Lunsford picked up his fourth verbal commitment in the class of 2019 in Langston Hughes’ defensive end AJ Watkins.
The 6-foot-3 senior has started all three years for the Panthers and was a force this past season picking up 53 total tackles and four sacks. Langston Hughes lost to Allatoona in the first round of the GHSA Class 6A state playoffs after a 7-3 regular season.

Watkins’ commit is the first commit on the defensive side of the ball, but he’s certainly a good one.
Among others, Watkins also had offers from Appalachian State and Arkansas State, so this verbal might carry a little more weight in a few seasons when the Eagles face these Sun Belt rivals.
