Overview
- Matthews, who announced Monday, will reveal his choice Friday, May 15, from LSU, Miami, Georgia, and Texas A&M.
- He is ranked the top offensive tackle in the 2027 class and No. 6 overall by the Rivals Industry Ranking, which averages major recruiting services.
- Scouting reports list the St. Thomas Aquinas standout at about 6-foot-5 and 285–301 pounds with strong testing numbers and a projection as a premium pass protector.
- Rivals’ recruiting prediction machine lists Texas A&M as the overwhelming favorite at 95.4 percent, which is a model-based forecast rather than a guarantee.
- He previously said he would decide after official visits but moved up his timeline, and a pick for Texas A&M would give Mike Elko a fifth five-star in an already No. 1-ranked class, per Aggies Wire.
