Someone posted in another thread that Carter picked Nico off twice if it is true or

I heard he changed the motor out on his car before practice with a pair of Vice grips!

+ Tennessee signee Mike Matthews was another standout in a deep and talented group of receivers. Matthews’ athleticism and upside as a pass catcher is apparent in this setting.

I’ll be shocked if he isn’t in the rotation next year.

Dude makes it look so easy.

4. WR Mike Matthews — Tennessee​

Mike Matthews was the top receiver for Team Fire after Cam Coleman. The 6-foot-0.5, 180 pounder showed outstanding ability to separate within his routes during the 1-on-1 period. Matthews was able to hit top speed very quickly and had the look of a dangerous deep threat. The ability to get vertical against the cornerbacks on hand was readily apparent. Matthews’ best play of the day came on a deep ball, as he got behind Auburn signee Jalyn Crawfordand tracked the ball to come down with a diving grab in the back of the end zone. We also saw Matthews create some separation against Five-Star Plus+ corner Ellis Robinson IV. The lone blemish on the Tennessee signee’s day came when he was unable to come down with a few grabs at the catch point. Matthews will need to continue working on his concentration and it’s something he could improve with more reps at wide receiver, as he was a two-way athlete at the high school level. – Charles Power ON3

His highlights look like he’s not even playing against man coverage, just out there running routes.

MIKE MATTHEWS, WR (Tennessee)

Matthews proved to be another tough cover as he reeled in a pair of long touchdowns. One of them required him to track the football while falling backwards, which was beyond impressive. Matthews, who is also a talented hooper, made a bunch of similar plays as a senior. His spatial awareness stands out.-247

 

[GetEmVols]

He WILL be open

But will he catch it? Lol

Kidding of course.. bad throws

 

[TrippieRedd]

Best WR in the country. No one comes close and I don’t want to hear Jeremiah Smith.


Just watching those two routes, that’s elite ****.

Completely agree. I always thought Matthews was the best WR in the class and probably top 5 overall player in the class. He’s a special talent.

Not only can he run routes but loves to block and therefore will be on field in 24 getting much playing time. Outstanding WR with huge future. In CHRIST Alone

Moar!!!

 

[norrislakevol]

If Matthews can improve his hands a little he can be an absolute beast. Decent size, great athleticism, great route runner, hard worker, and runs in the 4.4 range in the 40. Could be an All American, and that's not a stretch at all to say that.

Ecstatic to read all these glowing reports from this camp just to see him probably drop in the rankings anyways next update.
