6'5 freshman guard with size, juice, and paint-attack upside
Tim Matthews enters Arkansas State’s 2025-26 mix as a freshman guard from Memphis who brings length, athleticism, and a high-energy style. In high school, he averaged 11.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.9 assists as a senior at Cleveland High School and passed 1,000 career points, while coach Ryan Pannone praised him as a 6'4 athletic guard who can score, break the paint, and create for others. That profile fits a team looking for a disruptive, downhill connector with effort and upside. If you want a guard who plays with pace and pop, he’s worth a serious look.
