Union City, New Jersey offensive tackle Josue Matias entertained interest from schools all over the country, but in the end it was a school in his backyard that won out.
On Sunday the four-star prospect decided he wants to stay close to home. Just like that the recruiting process has come to a close for the nation's No. 25 offensive tackle.

"It was the chance to stay close to home and have my mom watch all of my games. Also, we'll be winning a national championship."

"They were excited," he said. "They had the Dominican anthem playing and everything."
