At a ceremony April 8, Stetson University renamed a football practice field to recognize the Watson family for their support of its athletics programs.
“Through their generous support, William Watson Jr. and William Watson III have recognized the role athletics play in enhancing the student experience and moving the university forward, and we are honored to play on a field bearing the family name,” said Stetson Athletics Director Jeff Altier.
Watson Jr. graduated from Stetson in 1959 and Watson III in 1996.
“It is an honor and privilege to support Stetson University’s athletic program,” said Watson Jr. “Stetson University has had a significant influence on the success of the Watson family. My four years at Stetson University was a turning point in the development of my goals and objectives. I am grateful to the many outstanding individuals who contributed to my growth at Stetson University. I am also excited that Stetson University has chosen to name their practice field in my honor.”
