Ivory CoastGeorgia Flips Top Five Star Tackle Mark Matthews From Texas A&M
Five star offensive tackle Mark Matthews committed to Georgia on Monday, less than 24 hours after decommitting from Texas A&M.
Bulldogs land major offensive line prospect
Five star offensive tackle Mark Matthews announced his commitment to Georgia on Monday morning. The news came less than 24 hours after he pulled his pledge from Texas A&M.
Matthews is a 6 foot 6, 285 pound lineman from St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He is ranked as the No. 6 overall recruit and the No. 2 offensive tackle in the 2027 class. He originally committed to Texas A&M on May 15 before reopening his recruiting process on Sunday.
How the commitment came together
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart and his staff were heavily involved in recruiting Matthews earlier this year alongside LSU and Miami. After Matthews decommitted from the Aggies on Sunday, Miami was viewed as the front runner. Georgia had been lurking in the backdrop of his recruiting process this fall, which led to his late cycle flip.
Matthews shared a post on social media to confirm his recruiting is 100% shut down. "I have nothing but respect for Texas A&M and wish the program nothing but success," Matthews wrote. "However, after extensive prayer and deep conversations with my parents, I have realized that my heart and my future lie in Athens."
Building a deep 2027 recruiting class
Matthews becomes the top ranked commit in Georgia's 2027 recruiting class. He is the second five star prospect to join the group, joining running back Kemon Spell, who is ranked No. 10 overall.
Georgia entered Monday with the No. 11 recruiting class for the 2027 cycle. The Bulldogs now hold commitments from three top 15 offensive tackles in the class. The group includes four star recruits Kelsey Adams and Kennedee Jackson. Three star tackles Miller Westerfield, Demar Dotson Jr., Ty Johnson and Abram Eisenhower round out the deep offensive line group bound for Athens. The early signing period runs from Dec. 2 to 4.
