‘23 LA CB Jordan Matthews (Tennessee)

Unverified size but looks the part of a P5 corner to the naked eye. Plays long with wiry strength.

Physical tools and functional athleticism should provide for versatility across varying coverage types. Makes an effort to shrink the window and pester at the catch point.

Excellent multi-sport context thanks to strong track data. Top five finisher as a junior in Louisiana 5A in the 100 and 200 meters with PRs of 10.66 and 21.29, respectively.

Displays corresponding recovery speed in the intermediate-to-deep passing game. Willing to mix it up on the perimeter vs. the run. Shows impressive closing speed and pursuit range.

A bit reactive at times and can hone technique and awareness. Can improve ball skills and ball productivity in the form of turnovers.

Excellent candidate to get on the field early on special teams with matching reps on block units. Eyeball test re: physical tools and verified athleticism on the track should provide plenty of developmental upside. Projects as a high-major corner with the long-term potential to become an NFL Draft pick.

May be my favorite get in a while and Ik I might get hate for saying this but we can't be 7th/8th in the SEC in recruiting. This will help push us closer to the Top 5.

I would say we will be top 5 probably top 4 after February 2023.

Wow. I've kind of sporadically followed this recruitment and thread. Everything seemed to point away from the Vols and then boom.

If memory serves... UT dipped into Louisiana a good bit when things were good. Great competition in their HS football.
