Matthews is listed at 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds out of Parkview High School in Lilburn, Georgia and is rated as a 5-star recruit by the 247 Sports Composite. The system also rates Matthews as the No. 4 WR, the 13th overall player in the country and the No. 3 player out of Georgia for the class of 2024.
While Matthews has a group of 4 finalists, he did receive a 247 Sports Crystal Ball prediction over the weekend for a commitment to Tennessee. That prediction came from Steve Wiltfong, the Director of Football Recruiting for 247 Sports.
