Five-star offensive lineman Mark Matthews nears decision to sign with Texas A&M

Five-star offensive tackle Mark Matthews is reportedly close to finalizing his recruitment and committing to Texas A&M. The St. Thomas Aquinas standout remains committed to the Aggies, citing strong relationships with head coach Mike Elko, offensive line coach Adam Cushing, and assistant coach Trooper Taylor. Matthews intends to formalize his recruitment shutdown with a public statement on X later this year. He is part of a 2027 recruiting class that currently holds the top ranking, alongside fellow offensive line commitments Kennedy Brown, DeMarrion Johnson, and Kaeden Scott. This potential move solidifies the coaching staff’s efforts to secure their top targets before Early Signing Day. Matthews is coming off a high school victory against DeSoto as he prepares for his final season.
