The Watkins Award is given to the top African American high school football player (based on performance, academics, leadership, etc.). Stanford has done very well recruiting Watkins Award winners and finalists.  Most recently, Frank Buncom won in 2015 and Bryce Love and Justin Reid were finalists. Other recent finalists have included Bobby Okereke, Alex Carter, Wayne Lyons, James Vaughters, Remound Wright and David Yankey. I think Stanford would be perceived very favorably by African American recruits.
