Clemson commit has enjoyed prolific high school career.
Deshaun Watson closed out his season last year as Georgia's all-time leading passer.
Incredibly, he still had a full season left to pad those statistics.

The reigning
MaxPreps National Junior of the Year completed 305 of 435 passes for 50 touchdowns while tacking on 1,441 yards and 24 scores on the ground.
Watson, the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback
in the 247Composite, has dazzled as a senior as well.
He has thrown for 2,546 yards and 33 scores and rushed for an additional 491 and seven touchdowns in leading Gainesville to an impressive 8-1 mark.
Another state title would be the final feather in Watson's cap, since his statistics are incomparable.
He has passed for 13,668 yards and 141 touchdowns in his four-year varsity career. On the ground, he's accounted for 3,491 yards and 52 touchdowns.
The promise he holds at the next level is a main reason why Clemson checks in at
No. 14 in the 247Sports Team Rankings for the class of 2014.
"I can step in and compete for the job, and hopefully win it," Watson
said recently. "It's going to be tough, but I think I can handle it. I did it for my high school team, just take it one day at a time."
Before he heads to Clemson, Watson will attempt to lead Gainesville back to the Georgia Dome in an attempt to win another AAAAA crown.
