About Our Ads Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement The Georgia Bulldogs might've pulled off the biggest flip of the class of 2027. Five-star offensive tackle Mark Matthews, who is the No. 1 OT in the country, flipped from Texas A&M to Georgia , according to Hayes Fawcett .
Matthews is a five-star tackle from the class of 2027. The 6-foot-5, 300-pound lineman plays high school football for St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He is the No. 3 prospect in the class of 2027.
Matthews decommitted from Texas A&M on Nov. 8 , a day after Texas A&M's fifth loss of the season. In his original commitment ceremony, Matthews was emphatic in his pledge to Texas A&M, flinging every hat into the audience before revealing a Texas A&M jersey underneath his hoodie. He committed much more silently to Georgia.
Originally, he chose the Aggies over Georgia, LSU, and Miami, but the Bulldogs still pursued him after his commitment. Now, they're rewarded for their superb efforts.
"With Georgia, I liked coach Kirby (Smart) and the whole O-line staff, (offensive line) coach Phil (Rauscher), (offensive line analyst) coach (Stacy) Searels, (quality control) coach Edmund (Kugbila)," Matthews said in a previous interview.
Georgia now has the No. 5 recruiting class in the country. Outside of Matthews, they've earned commitments from three four-stars (Kennedee Jackson, Kelsey Adams, DJ Dotson) and three three-stars (Ty Johnson, Miller Westerfield, Abram Eisenhower) along the offensive line. With Matthews and running back Kemon Spell, Georgia has secured two top-10 recruits from the class, and they were both from flips (Spell flipped from Penn State).
