'05 PA LB Andre Mathis (Tennessee signee)

I tell ya if Andre looks at Florida and Tenn, as opposed to Ohio State, he'd see that he may never get serious play time in the near future at those schools. Tennessee has 21 linebackers on their roster. That's a boatload and only 2 of them are seniors. Florida may not have as many but they've had a good couple of years with recruiting LB's. In the past 2 years they have recruited 3-4 star LB's, and this year they aren't doing that bad either. Not that any great athlete doesn't like competition but Ohio State has only gotten 1-4 Star LB recently. I
If Andre looks at it on paper he'll see that Ohio State has not obtained any LB in this '05 recruiting class, and last year there was only 1-4 star Lb recruited. That could translate into some major playing time for him if/when he suites up in the Scarlet and Grey uniform as opposed to other the teams he's looking at. Besides that he'd be close to home if he went to OSU. Its a strait shot up Rt. 71 :)

Nutty,

Do we know when he'll visit the Shoe? I think he's got Tenn scheduled 11/6th.

It says December 3rd on his Rivals page. There will be a lot of big name prospects in that weekend but it would be nice if he could see a game in the Shoe.

Has he seen any OSU games on an unofficial visit?? If OSU could get him down here for a game to see all the fans and all the fanfare before the game, like Skull session and the band, you'd think it would make an impression.

Mathis is visiting the same weekend as rico mccoy. however, i believe they are both visiting tennessee together as well 2 weeks later. i dont know if that's good or bad, especially since mathis named tennessee his leadera while back.

Mathis has Sparty and Tennesee on top with the Buckeyes right behind. He's very excited about his official visit to Columbus this weekend(He's never been to Columbus). The coaches have told him he could probably start as a sophomore. He likes the fact Ohio State is close to home and that the school turns out good linebackers.

He is looking forward to his tOSU visit this weekend. Andre has watched tOSU five or six times on tv and likes they way they play defense (especially the LB play).

He is looking at what the school has to offer and the opportunity to play early on the team. He wants to play as a Freshman and knows he can do that at tOSU.

Andre really likes Coach D., who was just in to see him.

He will make a decision after his visits are over.

Nutty/Buckskin86,
I know it's recorded that he had a 2.8 gpa but at present are Andreas' Academics all in order(SATs' present grades)? He sure would be a great LB at any school and he'd do wonderful at Ohio State. Just covering all the bases. If so I'd sure love to have him suite up in a Scarlet and Gray uniform. That would make one heck of a recruiting class and he'd be making a run for some major playing time very soon ...

On his Rivals profile it says he scored an 800 on his SAT to go along with his 2.82 GPA. I believe he's fully qualified but I'll defer to someone with a better knowlegde of what it takes to be qualified.
