a physical, shutdown Texas CB who rarely gets tested
Matthews is a high-end cornerback prospect for Texas whose calling card is sticky man coverage, length, and competitive edge; opponents often avoid throwing his way because he can erase top receivers and make quarterbacks pay with ball skills. He was named North Carolina Mr. Football as the first defensive player ever to win it, and recruiting services place him among the nation’s better CB prospects. For Texas, he looks like a strong fit if the staff wants a press-coverage defender with real takeover ability and proven production against elite high school competition.
