Matthews has plenty of options to consider and he'll surely take a number of visits before ending his recruitment.

Georgia and Rutgers are two teams that will be mentioned prominently throughout the rest of his recruiting process but the list won't end there.

The Rivals.com staff will see Matthews for in-person evaluations multiple times this fall. The early evaluation of Matthews at the time of his commitment to Penn State can be found below.

"Matthews has the look of an elite prospect in the 2025 class. The offensive tackle has a huge frame, long arms, and has shown great athleticism at an early age. Matthews is one of the first 100 players in the 2025 class to earn four-star status and, if he continues to develop at this rate, he has the physical tools to remain a highly ranked player throughout the process."
