On3 DB / Matthew Golden

As a College Recruit

Well-rounded receiver who checks boxes in terms of production, athleticism and position-specific skills. Highly productive over three years of high school football with over 3,200 yards and 32 touchdowns in his career. Has a muscled-up build. Athletic on the track with sub-11.0 second times in the 100 meters. Has plus ball skills, making highlight contested catches on a near weekly basis. Has a “my ball” mentality when battling defensive backs in-air. Also shows the ability to rip off long runs after the catch, stopping on a dime to change directions. Has a near complete skill set. The best high school receiver prospect to sign with Houston in recent memory.

Matthew Golden is an On3 Rankings Outlier

Matthew Golden continues to improve on the heels of two strong seasons at Houston Klein Cain. The 6-foot, 190-pounder has been one of Houston's more productive receivers as a sophomore and junior with 1,826 yards and 20 touchdowns over that span. Golden is a big-play threat who brings strong hands and the ability to elevate and win at the catch point. He also runs well (10.93-second 100-meter) and has continued to add polish to his routes. The TCU commit turned in a dominant showing at the Texas State 7-on-7 tournament earlier this summer.
