I am a big fan of this 6 ‘6 pass catcher and his upside on the next level and possibly beyond. Mattingly is an ultra talented tight end prospect that has the unique skill set to stretch out wide. This Mid-Tennessee area prospect can be placed at receiver out wide and work his man deep down the field due to his athleticism, speed and ball skills. He can also run routes like a receiver, so Mattingly is a bit of a unicorn style prospect that can be utilized in several ways. Blocking is something the Hawks tight end embraces as well as he is willing to get physical and drive his man back. This guy is legit and someone that I think can be a gamechanger on the college level and play his way into pro status one day.

Strengths: Mismatch nightmare is the very first thing you think about when you turn on his film! Mattingly is a tall, long and athletic pass catcher that has the look and upside of a college tight end but is talented enough to play receiver as well due his ability to run. The Hawks 6’5 senior has tremendous ball skills along with the length and size to cause issues for opposing defenders as well as the speed to run past his tacklers and dart towards the end zone. Mattingly shows an excellent feel for the game. He knows how to get open then find a way to get around the opposition for big gains. Yards after the catch is a speciality for this Mid-Tennessee talent, who covers a lot of ground once he gets moving. Playing tight end, Mattingly will need to continue adding weight but he is a tenacious blocker on the outside already, so I see no problem with him transitioning fully to that position, if that’s where he lands at in college. Development: It’s pretty obvious where Mattingly needs development. He must continue packing on the pounds to sustain a long career on the highest stage of college football and that’s where he is destined to go. I don’t see any problems with this Mt. Juliet area product putting on the needed weight to either stay out of receiver or transition to tight end. Overview: Mattingly could have some of the biggest upside of anybody from our #TN2025 class. His size, speed combo along with his outstanding ball skills makes him an excellent prospect for many programs across the college landscape. His ability to flex out wide or line up just about anywhere, gives offensive coordinators options when it comes to creating plays for Mattingly and getting him the ball. No matter if this Hawks pass catcher stays at receiver or moves to tight end, Mattingly is a playmaker and an offensive weapon that could make any offense he performs with more dynamic and explosive.
