Prattville High lineman Watson Kidd commits to Murray State

Prattville High School 2027 offensive lineman Watson Kidd committed to Murray State on X, giving the Murray, Kentucky, program another sizable addition from Autauga County. The 6-foot-4, 295-pound prospect also carries a 4.214 GPA and is projected as an interior offensive lineman, a combination that has helped make him one of the more visible young players in Prattville’s football program.

Kidd’s X profile lists him as Class of 2027 | IOL #58 and includes an 80.25-inch wingspan and a 10.75-inch hand measurement. The account identifies him as being from Prattville, Alabama, and says he joined X in January 2025, giving his recruiting profile a public trail that has tracked his rise through the high school ranks.

The commitment drew a quick response from Prattville Lions Football, which congratulated Kidd and said he joins a growing list of Lions who have already committed. That message reflects the recruiting momentum building around Prattville High, where college programs continue to find prospects from a school that has become a steady presence in the statewide football conversation.

Kidd’s recruiting page on On3/Rivals had already pointed toward that outcome. The site listed Murray State, North Alabama and East Tennessee State among his top teams, and its Murray State 2027 visits page showed Kidd as a verified visitor with an 87% commitment indicator. For Murray State Racers football, the addition strengthens a 2027 class that now includes a big-bodied lineman with enough length, size and academic standing to draw attention beyond Alabama.

ScoutFball put the move in blunt terms on X, writing that Murray State “got an absolute steal.” For Prattville, the commitment lands as another public marker of how much visibility the Lions are earning on the recruiting trail, with Kidd’s combination of grades, measurements and position fit giving younger players in the program a concrete example of what can come from that pipeline.
