Georgia football has been one of the best at recruiting over the years, and that doesn’t look like it’ll stop anytime soon. 5-star offensive tackle Mark Matthews recently decommitted from Texas A&M, and there were rumors that Miami was going to swoop him up. By no surprise, Georgia found a way to put their bid in, and now Matthews is committing to the program, according to On3.

“BREAKING: Five-Star Plus+ OT Mark Matthews has Committed to Georgia, he tells me for Rivals. The 6’6 300 OT decommitted from Texas A&M yesterday. He’s ranked as the No. 2 Recruit in the 2027 Rivals Industry Rankings,” Fawcett wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Matthews is seen as one of the best linemen in the class of 2027, and it makes sense why some of the top programs were looking to bring him in.

“A multi-year starter at left tackle for St. Thomas Aquinas, Matthews has drawn national attention for his combination of size, athleticism and pass-protection ability. So far this year, he’s anchored an offensive line that’s averaging 9.5 yards per carry,” USA Today reported.

For Georgia, they continue to bring in the best of the best, and there’s no surprise why recruits want to come play for them. After their latest win against Ole Miss, the Bulldogs are showing that they’re ready to make a run at the national championship.

With games coming up against Missouri, South Carolina and Georgia Tech, there’s a good chance that they run the table. It also looks like they’ll be playing in the SEC Championship, but it’s uncertain who else will be in the running.
