Portage Central senior Cross Watson has always wanted to be a college athlete and now he will get his chance.
Watson, signed his national letter of intent on Wednesday to play college football at Purdue.
"It's a dream come true," Watson stated. "I always wanted to play a sport in college growing up, it was baseball at first then I fell into football and now I love football, it's my sport and to be able to sign today is a dream come true.

"Visiting there was a great time, the coaches had a great time, I had a great time with the players, it was just fun and they just made it feel like a home for me.
