Big time HS player. Great size, big time motor, incredible hands, quick release and a cannon for a shot. Can break double teams and score in tight and is very lethal 8-15 yards. Works hard at his craft and his very coachable. Has big time potential to be an impact player at the highest levels of NCAA lacrosse.

Arden is a great kid who plays hard both with and without the ball. Along with his size and strength, which is evident in games from the jump, he has good vision and field awareness. His effort on rides stands out against other attackmen his age, and he's an excellent teammate.

Arden Watson is a one of kind young man, who is a privilege to coach. Arden has been vital to our program from day one, he brings intangibles you cant teach, work ethic that remains unrivaled, and a personality that uplifts others on and off the field. Arden possesses an elite first step such so that he pressures opposing defenses to play his game. If left in a one on one situation he calmly scans the field, move the ball to open teammates, or imparts his will and takes advantage. Arden has an elite level right hand and a great left, he can worm his way through the teeth of the defense with speed and take heavy contact with his size to open up and finish shots from close or from angles that players at this level would not dream of trying. Arden's most impressive characteristic in my eyes has to be that he never gives up. He plays 4 quarters at a 100% no matter the score. He will chase down on a ride, he will move to middy when needed, and bring his teammates up a gear. Im thankful to coach Arden.

Arden was central to our success as a lacrosse team this past season. He demands the attention of opposing defenses, knows how to score under pressure, and has a natural leadership ability that comes through because of his comfort with the game. Arden does not rest on his laurels, and works tirelessly at his craft. He also helps elevate his teammates by coaching them up on the nuances of the game.

Arden is a great kid and player with a high ceiling. He first stood out to me during the first 10 min of a tryout. He was the loudest and going the hardest, completing every rep. Arden's strengths include size, quickness, vision and his ability to read and dodge a slide. Looking forward to working with him more.

Arden Watson is a fantastic young man, and I am fortunate to have the opportunity to know him. He is an excellent student-athlete that has great potential to play at the next level. Arden is a versatile offensive player with a significant first step, size, and strength to maneuver from point A to B. He is also a great teammate and a blast to be around..

I had the opportunity to coach Arden for the Southern Stars in the summer of 2021. Arden is a good athlete with solid stick skills and a good shot. He is a hard worker, coachable and a pleasure to work with.
