Watters, born and raised in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was twice an all-state running back at Bishop McDevitt High School, where he also lettered in basketball and track. At Notre Dame, Coach Lou Holtz switched Watters to wide receiver and Watters helped lead the Irish to a national championship with 15 receptions for 286 yards and two touchdowns. In the decisive Fiesta Bowl against West Virginia, Watters caught a 54-yard pass that set up Notre Dame's final touchdown in a 34-21 victory. While at Notre Dame, Watters also returned a 97 yard punt for a touchdown, one of three punt-returns touchdowns he had for the Irish.
