Christian Matthew (born October 26, 1996) is an American professional football cornerback. He played college football for the Georgia Southern Eagles before transferring to the Samford Bulldogs, and then to the Valdosta State Blazers,[1] where he was tied for fifth in the nation in pass break ups[2] and was named first-team All-Gulf South Conference.[3] Matthew was invited to and participated in the 2022 College Gridirion Showcase post-season all-star event.[4]
As a senior at Chattahoochee High School, Matthew had 29 catches for 629 yards at wide receiver and 64 tackles and four interceptions on defense on his way to being named second-team all-state and First-team All-Bi-City.[5] He enrolled at Georgia Southern after his senior year before transferring to Samford, citing the lack of a transfer portal influencing his decision to go to an FCS school rather than sit out a year.[6]
