Matthews has burst onto the scene this season, and is looking to continue his domination against Fountain-Fort Carson. The 6’1 205-pound linebacker has 108 total tackles (34 solo, 74 assisted), 9 TFL, 2 sacks, 3 INT (1 was a TD), 1 FR (for a TD). Very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, lateral quickness, good jumping, and balance. Matthews has very good strength. Very good read and reaction speed paired with very good ball tracking. Very good pass coverage. He runs and plucks the ball out of the air with ease, and gets big returns on them. Very good tackling. Very good get off speed and block shedding. He’s patient on option plays and swing passes, not getting fooled. Matthews has relentless pursuit, and doesn’t give up until the play is finished. He has very good range and a very good blitzer. This senior’s play is a lot like P4 linebackers. It’s also cool our names are opposite of each other.
