This week, Miami became the latest program to be written into Matthews&#8217; calendar.<\/p>\n<p>Saying that &#8220;They definitely are an elite program,&#8221; Matthews will be taking an official visit to Miami from June 7-9. His relationship with head coach Mario Cristobal and offensive line coach Alex Mirabal are cited as major reasons for Matthews scheduling the official visit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Coach Mirabal and coach Cristobal are amazing coaches, they came recently to the school and talked to me &#8211; it was amazing,&#8221; Matthews told USA TODAY High School Sports.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So I feel like our relationship has gotten better. And I&#8217;m ready to build with them more and meet the others in the coaching staff and see the University of Miami.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Matthews pulled in his first offer from in-state <a href=\"https:\/\/rutgerswire.usatoday.com\/\">Rutgers<\/a>. He said <a href=\"https:\/\/rutgerswire.usatoday.com\/2024\/02\/27\/jaelyne-matthews-on-where-things-stand-with-rutgers-football-i-would-love-to-be-the-hometown-hero-in-new-jersey\/\">the Big Ten program will be getting an official visit in June.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another program getting an official from Matthews is Syracuse. Head coach Fran Brown, hired this offseason, is creating some recruiting buzz.<\/p>\n<p>Matthews will visit Syracuse on May 31.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Coach Fran Brown and Elijah Robinson (defensive line coach) &#8211; those are really the only two reasons I&#8217;m putting them into (my recruitment),&#8221; Matthews said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They changed the program and they&#8217;re changing it still. It&#8217;s definitely the Fran Brown and Elijah Robinson effect. Emmanual Ross &#8211; I grew up with him. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syracuse.com\/orangefootball\/2023\/12\/4-star-wr-emanuel-ross-flips-commitment-to-syracuse-becomes-programs-highest-rated-2024-commit.html\">He flipped his commitment from Stanford to Syracuse<\/a>. And, you know, it&#8217;s a great program and I&#8217;m happy for them. I&#8217;m happy for what they&#8217;re doing there and I would love to be a part of a program like that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As for what Matthews is looking for in his recruitment, he has laid out some very important factors in picking a program.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m looking for the school that academically where I can fit in and they have enough help for me academically wise,&#8221; Matthews said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I mean, I have to do school that doesn&#8217;t mean I love school. So I want to find a school that can help me love with academics. Also looking for a school that can physically help me with lifting and training and becoming better. And also a school that can help me when I get older into a good man. You know, I&#8217;m saying be a good person.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Matthews is planning on majoring in a field like sports science or sports exercise<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Jaelyne Matthews discusses his recent upcoming official visits.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":286601,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371052"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=371052"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371052\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":371053,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371052\/revisions\/371053"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/286601"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=371052"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=371052"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=371052"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
