Matthews ranks as the nation’s 139th best player and 15th best cornerback according to the 247sports composite rankings. The Baton Rouge native ranks as the ninth best player in the state of Tennessee and would be a major coup for the Vols’ recruiting class.
The 6-foot, 165-pound corner took official visits to Michigan and Tennessee in June before visiting Texas the final weekend of July before the Longhorns opened fall practice.

Mathews June official visit to Knoxville is his lone visit to Tennessee while the four-star corner has been to Texas four times in the last year.
Tennessee currently has four defensive backs committed in its 2023 recruiting class including four-star safety Sylvester Smith, three-star safety John Slaughter, three-star safety Jack Lutrell and three-star corner Cristian Conyer.
Going into Kentucky and landing Conyer was a huge coup for Tennessee but the Vols still need more corners in this class. Landing Matthews would be a massive get for Josh Heupel, Willie Martinez and the rest of Tennessee’s recruiting class.
The Vols currently hold the nation’s No. 11 recruiting class according to 247sports and the No. 12 recruiting class according to On3.
