Going by the 247Sports composite rankings, Matthews (6-foot-1, 180 pounds) is the fourth-best receiver in his class, third-best overall in Georgia and No. 13 nationally.
Matthews plays more than wide receiver, though. He’s a genuine two-way contributor, totaling 48 catches, 1,031 yards, 10 touchdowns, 23 tackles and two interceptions last season.
Thirty-two other programs made Matthews offers, including contenders at Clemson, Georgia and USC. Tennessee’s class of 2024 now ranks No. 15 in the nation.
