Alabama 4-Star DL commit shuts recruitment down

Alabama football’s four-star defensive lineman commit, Jamarion Matthews has shut down his recruitment.

Matthews is a 2026 four-star edge, who attends Gainesville High School in Georgia. He is originally from the Huntsville, Alabama area. He is the latest Alabama pledge to share he will not be considering any other programs.

“First things first, I wanna give thanks to the Man Above for the opportunities and the doors he has opened and closed for me, I also want to thank my beautiful mother, being a single parent raising two young men isn’t hard and i’m very thankful to have her as a mother. Well that being said i’ve decided to shut my recruitment down and stay home!! #RollTide.” Matthews posted to X. 

Matthews finished his junior season with 17 sacks while lining up on the edge at 6-foot-3 and 240 pounds. He is expected to play along the defensive front for the Tide in the future.
