Ja’elyne Matthews has seven offers from Power Five programs since Monday. It is a remarkable run of offers for Matthews, who is becoming one of the hottest recruits in New Jersey.
Oh, and Matthews is still a freshman in high school.
The offers keep rolling in for Matthews, a standout offensive lineman at Toms River North (Toms River, N.J.). The offers show no signs of slowing down.
On Thursday morning, the 6-foot-6, 300-pound offensive tackle got offers from Cincinnati and Louisville before 10 AM.
It all started this past fall when Matthews hauled in an offer from Rutgers football in late October, his first offer coming from the Big Ten program. He came into April with offers from the Scarlet Knights, Boston College and UConn.
Then, things started to heat up.
This week, he got an offer from Georgia, the reigning national champions (the offer from Georgia came from Fran Brown, a former Rutgers football assistant). Shortly after that, some other big-time offers came in including Ohio State, Texas A&M, Penn State, Syracuse and others.
Penn State made Matthews their first offensive tackle for a class of 2025 recruit.
On Friday night, Matthews took a visit to Rutgers for the annual spring game.
