Twins Tyren and Kyren Watts were like any other students at Marrero Middle School almost four years ago — before they had to evacuate from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.But now the juniors at New Waverly High School in New Waverly, Texas, are making names for themselves on the football field in hopes of returning to Louisiana to play football.At 6 feet 1 inch, 180 pounds, Tyren plays running back and defensive back. Kyren, at 6 feet 3 inches, 190 pounds, plays wide receiver and defensive end.Kyren said a number of schools  — LSU, Florida State, Oregon, Alabama, Florida, Iowa and Texas Tech — have expressed interest in recruiting the two. But the twins agreed if they had their choice, they would be Tigers.”I’d rather be in Louisiana because of my mom,” Kyren said. “All my family is down there.”Though it’s still very early in the recruiting process for the 2010 class, the twins haven’t received any scholarship offers. But New Waverly coach Ken Craig said he expects the brothers to receive offers very soon, especially if the interest they have received lately is an indication of things to come.”They’ve gotten interest from just about every Division I university around,” Craig said. “[Kyren’s] got great speed, great hands and jumps well. [Tyren’s] got great vision and great speed. He rushed for almost 2,000 yards with over 30 touchdowns [last season].”Craig said the brothers have adjusted to life in New Waverly and have been accepted by the community.”They came to New Waverly by way of Katrina,” Craig said. “They kind of hit the end of the line whenever they were coming this way to get to shelter. Folks from the community just kind of took them in and found a place for them. They just made a home for themselves in New Waverly.”The brothers said they will do all they can to play in college together.”Wherever he wants to go, I’ll follow,” Tyren said. “We’ve always played on the same team, so we don’t want to be separated from each other. But if we have to go our separate ways, then we have to go our separate ways.”—-Contact Tyler Harvey at [email protected]
