Solid size behind center, operates out of a spread system when Southmoreland wants to throw the football, plenty of five-wide sets early on tape. Said tape is about two and a half minutes long. Can be seen hitting his target 30+ yards downfield, he’s a young man willing to give his downfield target a chance. Can work with the RB post-snap, some mesh action that can incorporate play-action passes or tuck and runs by Matthews himself. He’s a better athlete than I give him credit for. Will likely see a move to ATH in the future, with half of his tape showcasing OLB reps.

A new addition to the PA 2026 rankings and upcoming stock riser Caden Matthews Caden Matthews 6'0" | 180 lbs | QB/ATH Connellsville | 2026 State PA can sling it! The junior to be has a good arm watching him drop a couple of deep balls in his film that was very impressive. Curious to see how he performs tomorrow with the enormous crop of receivers in attendance, really liking his upside. Plays the game with much physicality he also shined at safety this past fall for Southmoreland High school. I would like to see him work with both the quarterbacks and secondary group as he has a ton of potential on both sides of the ball. No matter what he ends up doing the future is bright for this young man.
