Ty Xanders | Prep Lacrosse Scout
On the surface, Matthews’ commitment to Penn State — where his brother Liam is a redshirt sophomore — might not seem like much of a surprise. However, it was certainly a splash for the Nittany Lions to snag the No. 7 recruit in the class, and I believe that his ranking would have been even higher if he had participated in the recruiting circuit. Unless you watched the Big Red in the spring or followed Jr. A box, you may not be as familiar with what Matthews brings to the table.
After dazzling for the Orangeville Northmen, Matthews’ recruitment centered around Maryland, Ohio State, and Penn State, his last visit of the three. According to multiple sources, the Terps were the other major player for the lefty’s services and made quite an impression on Matthews. Penn State won out in the end, and Matthews was the cherry on top for an excellent ’27 recruiting cycle in State College. Given the fact that Matthews was the third left-handed Canadian offensive weapon to jump on board, I’ll be intrigued to see how they make that work in a few years, though that’s one of those so-called champagne problems for Jeff Tambroni and John Haus.
