How impactful can true freshman Mike Matthews be in year one with the Tennessee Volunteers?
The Tennessee Volunteers were one of the hottest offenses two seasons ago. Josh Heupel had his unit averaging 48.1 points per game which was the best in the country and it nearly carried them to a college football playoff berth. However, last season the Volunteers ranked just 35th in points per game and are looking to get back to their 2022 form this season withOne player who could be a massive contributor towards that is true freshman wide receiver Mike Matthews.
In Tennessee's spring game this year, Matthews reeled in a 63-yard bomb that went for a touchdown and fully displayed his wide skill set as a receiver. The former multi-sport athlete has both the ability to pose a threat vertically and be an issue from the line of scrimmage. The Volunteers return some key names in the receiver room, such as Bru McCoy, Squirrel White and Dont'e Thornton Jr. but Matthews still has the possibility to make an impact on offense, even as a true freshman. And if the Volunteers have the intention of getting back to being an offensive juggernaut, Matthews could be the key to making that happen.You can follow us for future coverage by clicking "Follow" on the top right-hand corner of the page.
