'26 NC ATH Samari Matthews

[CobbVol]

From Rivals:

There have been no changes to Matthews’ top teams although Tennessee gave him “goosebumps” over the weekend as the environment was electric in Knoxville especially as the Vols knocked off Alabama.

Tennessee remains a major front-runner but there is going to be stiff competition for the 2026 high four-star cornerback from Cornelius (N.C.) Hough as South Carolina, North Carolina, Penn State, Florida State, Ohio State and Notre Dame stand out most.

“No particular order South Carolina, Clemson, Tennessee,”

“But I’m far from choosing a school. These schools have been recruiting me the hardest as of now, but I still have a few that are right there as well.”

Huge want

That will be right after our National Championship game. Hopefully the parade is around the time of his visit.

Good time for a visit.

North Carolina cornerback Samari Matthews announced earlier in the week that he will return to Knoxville in January for another visit. He and his family remain comfortable at Tennessee, and it remains clear that the Vols are a long-term player in this recruitment.

We lead for Dunham. Clemson will get Matthews.

 

[TrippieRedd]

We lead for Dunham. Clemson will get Matthews.

Rivals put out an article this morning saying Carolina does and that it would be hard to beat out Beamer.

All other websites reflect that.

i'm betting that will change. never bet against Garner.

If we get him, cool. If we don’t, oh well.
I’m fine with Groves and Wyatt.

He visited Carolina this past weekend and then they put out that article. That’s all I was trying to say.

I said a couple weeks ago, if we offer him in baseball then I think it would be easy. A lot of schools are offering him in both sports. I have not seen anything to indicate if we have or not.

Beamer was known as a recruiter. Doesn’t really surprise me considering they had a good year. He‘s been pulling some talent to Columbia.

It’s honestly been more Chop than RG lately. Good double team though with being developed by RG.

I hope Heupel does whatever is necessary to keep Chop. I am surprised he doesn’t have an in the field position yet. Maybe he doesn’t want one, who knows? But he is absolutely critical to our recruiting success

Long time to go on these guys to. A lot could change between now and December.

Dunham is more of a hand in the dirt DE than those two imo

And Beamer just got an extension. And I read somewhere that UT fans were happy that SC extended him. What the........??
