Jaelyne Matthews is one of the top offensive line prospects in the nation, and for good reason. The New Jersey product is strong, powerfully built and moves very well when he gets to the second level. And last month, he received an offer from Colorado football and head coach Deion Sanders.
In mid-September, Matthews de-committed from Penn State. He has held Power Five offers since his freshman year when he was offered by in-state Rutgers.
A physically impressive 6-foot-5, 273-pound offensive tackle from Toms River North (Toms River, New Jersey), Matthews is a consensus four-star recruit in the 2025 class. Already, he is committed to play in the Under Armour All-America Game.
He holds offers from Boston College, Georgia, Louisville, Maryland, Miami, Nebraska, Penn State, Syracuse, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt and West Virginia. Penn State, he said, is still in the mix in his recruitment.
Scroll down and check out what Jaelyne Matthews had to say about his recruitment, where things stand with Colorado (and head coach Deion Sanders) as well as an update on his recent unofficial visit to Georgia.
