South Florida Sun-Sentinel wrote:College bound
National Signing Day is a little more than two weeks away and more football players across the county are announcing college plans. Northeast defensive back Reginald Matthews verbally committed to Liberty and St. Thomas Aquinas kicker Brandon Parker has committed to Arkansas State.
But after losing both his mother and the great-great grandmother who helped raise him, the Northeast defensive back was determined to succeed.
Matthews grew up surrounded by relatives who struggled to overcome drug problems. Some family members ended up in rehab. They were the lucky ones.
Others were in jail.
Matthews' mother and his great-great grandmother — whom Matthews always called "Big Ma" — wanted more for him. Wednesday, Matthews signed with Liberty University.
