Georgia Flips 5-Star OT Mark Matthews From Texas A&M, Beating Miami for 2027 Recruit

Summary
Mark Matthews, a five-star offensive tackle from St. Thomas Aquinas, switched his 2027 commitment from Texas A&M to Georgia in a late recruiting upset.
Texas A&M’s on-field slide and a wave of decommitments helped open the door for the Bulldogs to pry away a player viewed as the cornerstone of the Aggies’ offensive line class.
Miami had been widely seen as the favorite because Matthews is in South Florida and Mario Cristobal’s staff has recruited elite linemen well, with recruiting expert Steve Wiltfong projecting a Hurricanes flip.
The move gives Kirby Smart another high-profile recruiting win less than a month before early signing day and underscores Georgia’s ability to raid rivals for elite talent.
