On Thursday, UCF landed top target Dequanteous Watts, after making his top five last month. Watts picked the Knights over Ole Miss, Indiana, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, and Georgia Tech among others.

As a matter of fact, Watts announced his commitment on his birthday.

"It did make it special (to commit on my birthday)," the three-star athlete told Knight247.

Watts spoke with head coach Josh Heupel, special teams coach Nick Toth, defensive backs coach Willie Martinez, and cornerbacks coach Corey Bell before making his decision.

"The coaching staff, the players, and the fans," Watts said when asked what stood out about UCF compared to other schools.

According to Watts, he and Heupel get along "very well".

"I'm very excited. The coaches and all of the fans were excited. I'm just ready to be a Knight," Watts said.

Watts plans to take a visit to Orlando when UCF hosts Pittsburgh, a school which recruited him, on Sept. 29th.
