Matthew Watterson '23 Recruiting Profile

My name is Matthew Watterson.  I have just completed my sophomore year in high school.  My GPA is 3.7.  My dream is to play college football at the most competitive level that I can.  I have been playing football since the age of 5.  Growing up, I attended many football camps, including Offense/Defense Camp.   Because of my performances at these camps, I was invited 6 times to attend their Youth-All American Bowls, which were held in many different southern states  during Christmas week.   

My freshman year of high school, I  started at wide receiver and safety.  On special teams, I was kick and punt returner and gunner.  My sophomore year, the coaches moved me to ROLB/Edge.  Although our season was only 5 games due to Covid-19, my best performance of the season I had over 20 tackles, including 2 sacks.  I was moved up to Varsity for their playoffs.

I have been working out 6 days a week since I started high school.  I am working with a strength and agility trainer at the field and I plan on attending several college showcases over the summer before I start my Varsity season.

I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and on the football field. I am open to all options and want to ultimately find the right college match at the highest level of competition possible. I have the personal drive, integrity and determination to succeed on the field, as well as in the classroom. I want to compete at the next level and will do whatever it takes to accomplish that.
