About Matthew

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Intense, focused and tough. Aware of the whole field yet able to zero in and find the holes for tackles. Multi-sport player with intense mentality in each sport.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

Focused, thrives on improvement and excellence, thinker and humble

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

Involved in youth group leadership

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I continue to work on being the best teammate--arriving early, staying late to help with set up and tear down. I value the members of my team and remain open to their feedback and work to encourage them in all things. I have a steady composure and feel this brings a calming presence to my team, classmates, family and friends.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I have faced injuries and have had to learn to let my body talk to me. I had to learn that rest was a good thing and how to balance that in my athletics but also life.

What type of college are you looking for?

I'm looking for a college that has a solid athletic program but values investing in my academics as well. I am looking at Agri-Business and/or Wildlife Management and would like to have a program that provides these programs.

McKown can make plays at middle linebacker or off the edge, which allows him to disrupt offenses consistently. He gets downhill quickly, he plays under control and he is a thumper in run support. Matthew shows great patience, he uses his hands well at engagement and he plays with excellent leverage coming off the edge. His position versatility allows him to be a threat on every play.

Great year and proud to be a part of the Leopard team. Already ready for 2026 Season! https://t.co/smk3n6fbqw #hudl @monsterkuhl435 @_EliteProspects @CoachHStephens @LorenaFootball @pdeleon0214 @PrepRedzoneTX @JeffPevehouse @CoachGainesRec @CoachDJWagner @TXSTRECRUITING…

Matthew is a young edge prospect with clear upside and traits that translate to the next level. He shows a natural burst off the snap, uses his length to keep blockers off his frame, and plays with an aggressive motor that shows up throughout the game. As he continues to develop strength and refine his pass-rush moves, his ability to disrupt the pocket and set the edge against the run will only grow. Matthew’s foundation, effort, and athletic tools point to a defender who is just scratching the surface of his potential.
