Jaelyne Matthews is one of the top offensive line prospects in the nation, and for good reason. The New Jersey product is strong, powerfully built and moves very well when he gets to the second level. And last month, he received an offer from Colorado football and head coach Deion Sanders.
In mid-September, Matthews de-committed from Penn State. He has held Power Five offers since his freshman year when he was offered by in-state Rutgers.
A physically impressive 6-foot-5, 273-pound offensive tackle from Toms River North (Toms River, N.J.), Matthews is a consensus four-star recruit in the 2025 class. Already, he is committed to play in the Under Armour All-America Game.
He holds offers from Boston College, Georgia, Louisville, Maryland, Miami, Nebraska, Penn State, Syracuse, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt and West Virginia. Penn State, he said, is still in the mix in his recruitment.
Scroll down and check out what Jaelyne Matthews had to say about his recruitment, where things stand with Colorado (and head coach Deion Sanders) as well as an update on his recent unofficial visit to Georgia.
“It was insane getting that offer. He’s a really big name in the football world and of course, every offer means a lot to me. Every offer is a blessing.”
“The (reason why is the) way he leads and the way he’s a mentor for the youth and the African-American youth.”
“Nothing really stands out about the offer but I do intend on visiting.”
“Things have been very good. I went on a visit recently and they have a really nice facility and even better coaches.”
“I love coach Fran. He’s an awesome guy. He’s doing amazing as a coach and I believe one day he’ll be a head somewhere but what stands out the most is the coaching. They have amazing coaches and amazing facilities.”
“I’ll be at Maryland on November 4. And I have a few schools in mind, just can’t release those yet.”
