Gators nose tackle Desmond Watson went incredibly viral on Saturday, and it’s not because of something he did out on the field.
Social media were loving his enormous size.
During Saturday’s game against Missouri, CFB fans on Twitter caught sight of the 400-Pound defensive lineman.

Watson is a sophomore player walking around at 6-foot-5, 415 lbs. He’s actually down in weight because he joined the Gators in the spring of 2020 and weighed in at 432 lbs.
If he makes it to the NFL Lizzo may be able to finally date someone her own weight.. ? #Type2Crew https://t.co/uLHcrDOjj5

He has an additional 415lbs to lift when he does squats. In my head that’s 1,135lbs and he deserves a trophy. https://t.co/HeVoI3WUB5
