— TriggaTray28 (@Trigga_Tray28) June 14, 2014 Matthews was kicked off Georgia's team last month for a classroom incident. It did not take the former four-star recruit more than two weeks to find his next home in Auburn. Tigers fans are very familiar with Matthews by now: he (No. 28) was helping cover Ricardo Louis in this wild finish:
That pass was thrown by Nick Marshall, who also began his college career as a cornerback at Georgia.
Matthews appeared in six games as a freshman, recording 36 tackles and one interception. He also recovered a fumble.
Georgia has been hit hard by transfers this offseason. In addition to Matthews leaving for Auburn, starting defensive backs Josh Harvey-Clemons and Shaq Wiggins elected to take their talents to Louisville. Both players are sitting out the 2015 season, as well.
