Two-way playmaker with high-end athleticism, length and coordination who has blossomed into one of the better receiver prospects in the 2024 cycle. Measured at 6-foot-0.5, and close to 190 pounds prior to his senior season. Has a big frame and very good length for the position with a 32.75-inch arm and 9.75-inch hand. Lines up at both receiver and safety for Parkview High. Pairs that length with advanced coordination to result in a considerable catch radius.

Mike Matthews was a standout at Under Armour Atlanta for the second straight year. The two-sport star was clearly one of the top three pass catchers on hand and turned in some very impressive reps in 1-on-1’s. Matthews is a smooth, coordinated athlete with the ability to make high-level plays on the ball. His highlight of the day came on a rep against 2025 defensive back Naeem Offord – our top defender from the day. Matthews fought through strong coverage from Offord and tracked the ball over his right shoulder for a diving catch in the corner of the end…

Mike Matthews‘ moved up to No. 9 overall in the midseason update to the 2024 On300. He was among On3’s top performers at the loaded Overtime OT7 7-on-7 tournament back in June.

Matthews has shown ball elite ball skills in multiple…

Mike Matthews showed off his advanced coordination and functional athleticism on Wednesday night in his junior season opener. The Lilburn (Ga.) Parkview standout was completely dominant in the first-half of a blowout win, making a number of impressive grabs in rainy conditions. Matthews easily beat man coverage on two touchdown grabs, elevated for an interception in traffic and tracked a wet football over his shoulder on a long reception. He finished with six catches for 111 yards and two touchdowns and the interception.

Mike Matthews had a breakout showing on Saturday at OT7, earning On3 MVP honors on the third day of action. Similar to Jurrion Dickey, we came away thinking Matthews showed a very promising skill set at receiver, highlighted by some downright dominant moments. Matthews may have had the best ball skills on hand, which is saying something considering the number of top pass catchers in Las Vegas bordered on ridiculous. The 6-foot-1, 180-pounder has noticeably long arms to go with vertical leaping ability and coordination. He’s also quick in confined spaces and has some upside as a route-runner. The Lilburn…
