He's able to see angles using his great vision and field awareness to know where defenders are on the field. Good all-around game speed, he's got plus lateral quickness and a sustained second gear to run away from defenders in the open field.

He's a gifted dual-sport prospect (football/basketball) with great body control and natural athleticism. He's a true dual threat QB that can take over a game with both his arm and his legs. In the pocket, he's smooth getting into his drop with quiet feet then landing with a well-balanced platform and good ball placement. Shows he can hit his receivers in stride to all areas of the field allowing them to run after the catch. He's a natural playmaker with a great ability to improvise and create when protection breaks down. Dangerous when he tucks and runs, he's elusive in the open field and flashes a strong burst to break away. Comes in as our fourth ranked 2025 QB in the state.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6604c8881f429"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Leyton_martin_/status/1726674936243306780","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Leyton_martin_/status/1726674936243306780 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["693726"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Matautia had a great junior season that saw him being voted First Team All Metro and Lineman of the Year. At 5'11” 290 lbs. he's got a strong frame packed with power at the POA. He's a violent finisher that explodes at the point of engagement bringing his hips and feet upon contact to drive opponents off the ball. He's a plus athlete that can move his feet and shows great mobility working to the second level or as a pulling guard. Well-coached, he's got great technique in both his footwork and hand usage. He's a heavy striker that gets good extension on his initial punch and does a good job repositioning and recovering from defenders moves. He's under control and attacks with a good wide base to be balanced at the contact point. Expect him to see a bump in recruiting attention as the cycle progresses and he's able to show off his skillset.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6604c8881f486"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JojoMatautia/status/1731448985565688146","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JojoMatautia/status/1731448985565688146 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
