An unranked prospect in the 2020 class, the Dillon (S.C.) Latta product headed to Limestone in the upstate region of South Carolina. He redshirted in the abbreviated 2020 season, and has played the past three years. Since 2020 does not count against eligibility, he has two years to play one at his next stop.

In 33 career games, he has 213 total tackles, 19 for loss with four sacks. He has picked off one pass and broken up two, and forced one fumble while recovering a pair. This season was his second straight making the D2 All-Super Region 2 team after making 78 tackles with 8.5 for loss and three sacks.

Limestone finished 80th in total defense among 161 DII teams, but Matthews - the only defender on his team named all-region - was one of the brights spots.
