Tampa (FL) Berkeley Prep tight end Jacob Mathis


2016
Quayshon Alexander – DE – Wayne (NJ) De Paul:
Alexander is a 6’3″, 230 lb. prospect who committed to Nebraska in June; he also has offers from Arizona State, Iowa, Miami, Michigan, Rutgers, and Virginia Tech, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #31 weakside end, and #447 overall. He is a teammate of running back Kareem Walker (Ohio State) and offensive guard Thiyo Lukusa (Michigan State), the latter of whom transferred there this year after playing at Traverse City (MI) West. This is an official visit.

Devin Bush, Jr. – LB – Pembroke Pines (FL) Flanagan:

Brad Hawkins, Jr. – WR – Camden (NJ) Camden: Hawkins committed to Michigan this summer. You can check up on how his senior season is going here (LINK). This is an unofficial visit.

Lavert Hill – CB – Detroit (MI) King:

Ron Johnson, Jr. – DE – Camden (NJ) Camden: Johnson committed to Michigan over the summer. You can check up on his senior season here (LINK).

Jacob Mathis – TE – Tampa (FL) Berkeley Prep: Mathis is a 6’3″, 223 lb. prospect with offers from Florida, Miami, Michigan, and Ole Miss, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #9 tight end, and #276 overall. With Philadelphia (PA) Imhotep’s Naseir Upshur committing to Florida State and Bradenton (FL) IMG Academy’s Isaac Nauta looking like a Georgia lean, Mathis is emerging as perhaps Michigan’s top target at the tight end position. Florida appears to be the biggest contender for his services. This is his official visit.

Hit the jump for several more 2016 and 2017 visitors.

Ahmir Mitchell – WR – Egg Harbor City (NJ) Cedar Creek:

Quinn Nordin – K – Rockford (MI) Rockford:

Levi Onwuzurike – DE – Allen (TX) Allen: Onwuzurike is a 6’2″, 243 lb. prospect with offers from Baylor, Georgia, Michigan, Oklahoma, Oregon, TCU, and Texas Tech, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #24 weakside end, and #340 overall. He’s a teammate of cornerback Jaylon Jones (Ole Miss) and offensive tackle Greg Little, the latter of whom decommitted from Texas A&M but is considered the top offensive lineman in the country. Onwuzurike is pretty quiet about his favorites, so it’s difficult to tell where he may be leaning. This is his official visit.

David Reese II – LB – Farmington (MI) Farmington:

Marquis Smith – WR – Ypsilanti (MI) Ypsilanti:

Simeon Smith – TE – Kalamazoo (MI) Loy Norrix:

Corey Malone-Hatcher – DE – St. Joseph (MI) St. Joseph: Malone-Hatcher is a 6’3″, 246 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Michigan, and Notre Dame, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 4-star, the #8 weakside end, and #173 overall. He suffered a leg injury that will keep him out for the remainder of his junior season. He is considered to be a Michigan lean, although he does have ties to Alabama.

    not sure the odds of landing the de from allen tx but getting those kids in for officials is significant.

    chances are pretty slim but itd be incredible to grab a player and get a foot in the door at allen high in texas. that place has been a powerhouse, routinely churning out d1 prospects like katy and the other texas powers. its huge to have an open door at those spots and consistently bring in prospects for officials or even occasional summer unofficials.

    i love that harbaugh realizes it and has tried at similar places in other states by offering numerous kids per class (even if some are borderline m prospects) like img, serra, prattville, thomas aquinas, dematha, university school, paramus, bosco, trinity, etc and even the school of metellus / gil / bush which appears to be on up swing in terms of consistent talent.

    its huge to have a presence at those type places. and you gotta start somewhere

      I agree. I don’t think the chances are very good wth Onwuzurike, but it is nice to see people like him coming in for officials. Allen has a huge football stadium. They take their football seriously down there.
