Matthew is a solid Punter/Kickoff recruit. He’s been working hard on his fundamentals and has shown great improvement in his ability to hit consistent directional punts in the 4.0-4.3 second hang time range, occasionally crushing some in the 4.5+ second range. At our 2020 National Showcase amongst nearly 90 participants, Matthew finished in the top 10 overall on Kickoff Charting on Day 1 and on Punt Eliminations on Day 2. His best turnover punts are beautiful and he’s working on getting those with more regularity. I’ve worked with him through private lessons locally here in TX and at each session, he’s had a great attitude and has been very coachable. Matthew has shown a good amount of improvement since the start of his junior year and if he continues at that same rate over the coming months he should evolve into a top Class of 2022 specialist out of the state of Texas. He’s got great flexibility and a prototypical punter build. His strength seems to be directional punting. He will need to add a few yards to his kickoffs and a little more hang time to his punts to move up the ranks so to speak. He is primarily a kickoff/punt specialist but I believe he’ll be working on adding FGs to his repertoire this off-season.
