5-star WR Mike Matthews live commitment ceremony

Lilburn (Ga.) Parkview five-star wide receiver Mike Matthews is set to make his college decision Wednesday, choosing between Tennessee, Georgia, USC and Clemson.

He will announce his commitment live on the On3 Youtube channel at 7 p.m. ET.

The 6-foot-0.5, 180-pound elite receiver is the No. 14 overall prospect and No. 4 wide receiver in the 2024 cycle per the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 3 player in Georgia.

Matthews took official visits to Clemson, Georgia, USC and Tennessee in June.

“They’re all pretty similar schools with a few different things,” Matthews told On3. “Really it’s just different names. They’re all great schools with great coaching staffs and great players.”

Matthews’ final four

Clemson: “What makes them different is the family they have. Dabo likes to bring players back to the staff so you know he likes to have people that have come through and been there already. They help the incoming player be able to buy into it and be great just like them.”

Georgia: “It’s the home state school and they’re hungry winners. You can’t really built a lot of those. Even though they’ve won back-to-back titles, they still want to win another one and they know that it takes a lot to be in that position. Usually people catch on but they’re still hungry to be great.”

Tennessee: “Relationships are the biggest thing at Tennessee. The air-raid offense means I’m getting the ball a lot and of course I want to make plays in college. It feels like a great opportunity and I love the coaching staff. Everyone buys into me, everyone’s a family and it’s big to have people like that on the team.”

USC: “It’s a real different environment and culture. I’ve talked to (Luke) Huard and (Lincoln) Riley a lot and they’re great people over there who just want the best for each other and for me. That’s the biggest thing to me.”

Matthews is trending toward Tennessee, per the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $276K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). 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.

Mike Matthews Scouting Summary

“Two-way playmaker with elite ball skills who has blossomed into one of the top wide receiver prospects in the 2024 cycle. Measured at 6-foot-0.5, 185 pounds with a 6-foot-6 wing span prior to his junior season. Lines up at both receiver and safety for Parkview High. Pairs that length with advanced coordination and hands to result in a considerable catch radius. Catches the ball away from his body and has shown the ability to win in contested situations on Friday nights and in 7-on-7 settings. A bouncy athlete who doubles as a standout basketball player in high school and on the AAU circuit. Still developing as a route-runner, but is showing progress as a junior. One of the top overall prospects from the state of Georgia regardless of class.”
