Tennessee, OSU and Penn State have already shown interest.
I know there is a lot of information missing, but Matt only began to emerge as a prospect late this summer so there isn't much out there yet, although I'm sure it will become available in the near future. Sophomores very rarely play for X (much less start)-the last time it happened was with Darius Ashley, Fred Craig, and Nick Schneider a couple years ago, and Rob Schoenhoft (as a WR) before them. He's already considered a better prospect than Fred Craig, Darius Ashley, and the rest of his teammates.
X is usually known for getting the job done without D1 prospects, and even the best players that do play in college usually go to mid-majors, etc. Matt will be different though, assuming he progresses he will be able to go wherever he wants in a few years. He has great feet and moves very well for a 15 year old, along with the frame to add a lot of muscle, which he will undoubtedly do in X's outstanding weight program.
Matt started at right tackle for the USA Today #4 team in the nation (#1 in a couple other polls) in their first game of the season against Winton Woods. X faces #3 DeMatha in the Ohio vs. USA challenge this weekend. I wasn't able to make the game, but I'm told he made great blocks all game and finished off his blocks downfield, all while displaying a swagger and confident demeanor. I'll be at the DeMatha game, so I'll get a firsthand look Sunday.
