Matthews announced his decision Monday, just one day after backing away from his original commitment to the Aggies. Rivals recruiting insider Hayes Fawcett first reported the move.
The 6-5, 300-pound standout from St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is ranked as the nation's No. 2 overall prospect and top offensive tackle in the Rivals Industry Ranking. His departure represents considerably more than losing another highly rated recruit.
With his commitment now belonging to Georgia, the Aggies have slipped to second in the latest Rivals standings. Texas A&M is coming off Saturday's 17-9 loss to South Carolina, dropping to 4-5 overall and 1-5 in SEC play.
