Matthew has really shown a knack as a deep threat for the Elkhorn passing offense that has numerous big plays deep downfield. This young man shows off not only determined hands, but from what you can see from a catch difficulty perspective, he surely passes the eye test quickly. The 6’1 180 pounder is a fluid route-runner that has a productive route-tree that find seperation very well over the middle of the field and runs a productive route tree on those deep routes as well. There’s a good reason why he has a ton of NAIA offers to go around, but I feel grades out closer to the D2 steal as one that should standout as a senior eval to watch for.

The Antlers didn’t have the season they hoped for last year, but will have the pieces to turn it around this fall with players like Matthew Ott Matthew Ott 6'1" | 180 lbs | WR Elkhorn | 2027 State NE leading the charge. Matthew is a dynamic receiver and DB who erupted with 32 catches, 578 yards, and 4 receiving touchdowns, while also recording 19 tackles, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery on defense. Matthew proved to be quite the deep-ball threat, with three receiving touchdowns over 60 yards (88 long), displaying his explosiveness and ability to stretch defenses vertically. He is also capable of working the short and intermediate areas of the field using his clean route running to create separation. Ott possesses solid length, which he uses well to maximize his catch radius and make catches outside his frame. He has strong hands to secure passes at the catch point and can be physical with DBs when going up for jump balls. Matthew has also shown a high ceiling on defense, playing with great fluidity in coverage and using his ball skills to disrupt passes at the catch point. Solid prospect to get a closer look at this summer!
