Matthews visited Athens for the Georgia versus Kent State game in the fall of 2022. Matthews is a key in-state target for Georgia football. Perhaps the Bulldogs will have a stronger recruiting pitch now that quarterback Dylan Raiola has committed to the Bulldogs. Matthews plans to play in the 2024 Under Armour All-America Game.

Impressively, the five-star holds a dual scholarship offer from the Auburn Tigers for both football and basketball. It is rare for recruits to earn dual scholarship offers.
