Recruiting Trail: Trendon Watford - Mountain Brook Forward

January 7, 2019
Five-star forward Trendon Watford helped Mountain Brook win multiple state championships while weighing his college options.

Mountain Brook High School in Alabama doesn't lack for talent, but the Spartans play selflessly. That culture of teamwork has produced multiple state championships, with five-star forward Trendon Watford as the centerpiece.

At 6-foot-9, Watford has the size to dominate inside and the skill to stretch defenses. His older brother played at Indiana, giving the family experience with high-level recruiting. Watford's final four includes Memphis, Alabama, Indiana, and LSU, all chasing a player who puts winning ahead of personal stats.
