Micah Matthews is a 6-foot-2, 200-pound 3-star wide receiver from Turner Ashby High School in Bridgewater, VA, who also excels at baseball and has a chance at playing both sports at the Power 5 level in college.

The athlete, who has a special passion for playing baseball, informed THI that he would not be willing to consider another school who will not allow him the opportunity to excel at both sports he loves.

Carolina provides an advantage in the fact that Brown and the head coach of the Tar Heels' storied baseball program, Scott Forbes, maintain a strong bond, an excellent professional relationship which is a factor not present at some schools recruiting him to play football. They have already agreed to allow class of 2024 signee Timothy Lawson to play both sports, and Brown is open to others doing so as well.
