the top-100 wide receiver from trinity christian academy in jacksonville, fla., said he had a blast in tennessee during his first official visit, and while hes still 100-percent committed to florida state, hes probably going to take another look at the vols on nov. 5 to attend their game against tennessee tech.
everything in knoxville, it was great, said matthews, whos ranked the nations no. 52 overall prospect and no. 8 wide receiver in the 247sports composite for the 2017 class. pretty much, i liked everything about tennessee. It was cool. I liked coach butch jones a lot just his personality and what type of guy he was.
tennessee is definitely up there, he said. i like it. I mean, i dont have a particular spot for them, but i can tell you i love them. I like everything about tennessee. I had a blast in tennessee, actually, he said. it was fun. It was a different atmosphere.
they want me to come right away and play like, a different variety of ways to use me, matthews said. they compared me to antonio brown. Coach z coached antonio brown, so he was just showing me how antonio browns film in high school just looks so similar (to mine). Antonio brown was a quarterback before he got to college, and coach z developed him as a receiver when he was at central michigan.
they just showed me a lot of ways that they could develop me and make me into a better player to get ready for the nfl. I think they run a good offense. I mean, they dont throw the ball as much, but im pretty sure thats because they have josh dobbs at quarterback.
