Watson, who led BU in scoring (13.3 points per game), assists (7.1 per game) and steals (2.1 per game) in 2013-14, will sit out 2014-15 after transferring and have two seasons of eligibility remaining.
The 5-foot-10, 165-pound Philadelphia native also tweeted a picture of himself standing in the Bluejays' locker room:
