Injury will sideline Auburn WR commit Jase Mathews for season

One of the top high school football players in the state of Mississippi is out for the remainder of the 2025 season. Auburn wide receiver commit Jase Mathews, a five-star prospect and No. 1 receiver in the Rivals300, is out for the rest of the high school football season due to an ACL injury, thus ending his prep gridiron career. Mathews played two games for Greene County (Miss.) this fall, catching eight passes for 176 yards and two touchdowns.

Mathews had a monster season for the Wildcats in 2024 as the future Tiger hauled in 68 passes for 1,138 yards and 15 touchdowns. The four-star prospect totaled 1,529 all-purposes yards and scored a total of 17 times last fall.

“Skilled wide receiver who could push as the top pass-catcher in the 2026 cycle. Has a big frame that belies the eye test, measuring in at around 6-foot-1.5, 195 pounds with 33-inch arms and 10-inch hands,” said Rivals Scouting Director Charles Power of Mathews. “Registers as a plus athlete in the combine setting. Operates with a high level of skill on Friday nights and in the camp setting. Shows the ability to create separation at every level. Stacks defenders off the line of scrimmage and has considerable shake within his routes. Flashes a large catch radius, leaving his feet to extend for remarkable grabs. A ball-winner in contested catch situations, showing body control and strong hands. Finished his junior season with 68 catches for 1,138 yards and 15 touchdowns in 10 games. Also plays basketball. Did much of his damage out of the slot as a junior, but showed the ability to win on the outside in the camp setting. The high level of skill and well-rounded nature to his game makes him one of the top pass-catchers in the cycle and one who could project as an early-round draft pick.”

Greene County had gotten off to a hot start with Mathews helping fuel the offense through the first three weeks, with the Wildcats sitting at 3-0 heading into this week’s road game against Vancleave.
