## Key points

- Georgia landed five-star tackle Mark Matthews.
- Matthews had been committed to Texas A&M.
- Miami had been expected to win his commitment.

## Summary

Georgia have persuaded five-star offensive tackle Mark Matthews to switch his commitment from Texas A&M, in a surprise recruiting move that also beat out Miami. The flip matters because Miami had been widely expected to land the South Florida prospect, while Georgia strengthened its efforts to attract elite talent.

Matthews attends St. Thomas Aquinas and had committed to Texas A&M, whose 2027 recruiting class has lost recruits amid a difficult season. Recruiting analyst Steve Wiltfong had predicted Matthews would choose Miami, where coach Mario Cristobal and offensive line coach Alex Mirabal have a strong record of recruiting linemen. The article gives no details on Matthews’s reasons or the terms of his commitment.
