Expert Analysis
Jared Luginbill | Prep Redzone Scout
Jermaine comes from a storied Winton Woods program where he helped lead the Warriors to a State Championship in his junior season. He closed his high school career with a stellar senior season that’s as good as any you’ll ever see. Jermaine finished the season with 6 interceptions, 3 of which he returned for touchdowns. That in itself is a pretty incredible feat considering teams really didn’t want to throw the ball his way. Quite simply he’s a play maker in every way you can define it. He scored touchdowns by receiving punt return, kickoff return, and interception. He was the most dynamic player in the state bar none. Mathews wasn’t always the player he is today. It’s really been in the last two years that he’s blossomed physically and combined with a lot of hard work his game skyrocketed. While Ohio State liked what they saw of him on film, they wanted to see it firsthand, so they invited him to summer camp. It was there where Mathews would blow Ohio State’s staff away, with a 40 in the 4.3’s and a competitive spirit and stops in 1v1’s. Jermaine really excels in zone coverage as he takes good angles and times his plays on the ball well. He has the length and explosiveness to play press man as well. He has a high football IQ and awareness that he used to make plays and stops. When the ball is in the air, he’s going to win the contested catch almost every time. He caused 4 forced fumble and had 4 fumble recoveries. Many of those forced fumbles were hustle plays where he caught the runner and chopped the ball out. Jermaine is already enrolled and down at Ohio State, and I could see him push for playing time early in his career.
