Shawn Matthews '26 Recruiting Profile

I am from Charlotte, NC, and my passion lies in football, specifically as a Receiver and Kick Returner. During my sophomore year, I earned the role of a starter for the Varsity team at Providence High School. Prior to that, I honed my skills at Charlotte Catholic High School, where I played receiver for JV during my freshman year.  Football has instilled in me the invaluable lesson that success isn't achieved alone; it's the result of a team effort. Within the realm of football, I've found more than just a sport; I've found a brotherhood, where bonds forged on the field transcend the game itself. The friendships I've made through football are not merely seasonal; they are enduring, and will last a lifetime.

I maintain a 3.4 GPA, complemented by a 24 on the PACT and a PSAT score of 1210.

As I enter the college selection process, I ‘m looking for an institution that values both my academic and athletic pursuits. I envision an environment where I can contribute to the athletic program while having a positive impact on the team. Academically, I aim for a university that will equip me with the tools and opportunities to thrive beyond my college years.

Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me.
