Chris Matthews was named to the 2010 All-Juco Transfer team by Rivals. The man some call the second coming of Stevie Johnson transferred to Kentucky from Los Angeles Harbor College and he's been a huge asset to the offense in his two seasons in Lexington.
Matthews finished out the 2010 regular season in the top 5 in the SEC in yards and receptions per game.
