Washington has extended an offer to Baton Rouge (La.) Woodlawn four-star cornerback Jordan Matthews.

On3’s Chad Simmons caught up with the elite cornerback recruit a few weeks ago and Matthews said it was still early in his recruitment.

“I am just taking my time,” Matthews told On3. “Coaches have been focused on the early signing period and finishing up the 2022 class lately. The last few weeks have been busy for them, so things will be picking up for me soon.

Matthews is the No. 114 overall recruit in the country, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

He is the 11th-best cornerback in the country and 10th-best player from the state of Louisiana.

He has an On3 NIL Valuation of $6,300. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

During the regular season, Jordan Matthews competed against On3 five-star receiver Shelton Sampson Jr. The game caught the eye of On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power.

“For a game that was quite exciting, the marquee matchup between Sampson and Matthews left a little to be desired,” Power said. “Matthews followed Sampson a good bit in the first quarter, but we didn’t see the five-star receiver targeted a ton. With that said, Sampson did get loose on a deep crossing route for a 23 yard gain in the first half. He also showed some electric speed in taking an end around for 39 yards. Sampson nearly came down with a Hail Mary to end the first half and drew a pass interference after out-running Matthews and a safety. We saw Sampson showcase some more big play ability a few weeks back.”
