Texas A&M junior T Jake Matthews officially announced he will return to school for the 2013 season.
The Aggies' decisions are very reminiscent of the Pouncey brothers, since Matthews will likely move to the left tackle spot vacated by Joeckel. Matthews is a more active blocker, always fighting for hand positioning, which in turn generates more push in the running game. he will be one of the top senior prospects heading into the 2013 season.

Jake Matthews - T - Aggies

Texas A&M sophomore OL Cedric Ogbuehi tweeted that junior T teammate Jake Matthews is returning to school for the 2013 season.

Ogbuehi should know, since he will likely move over to tackle if either one of the current starting tackles, Matthews or Luke Joeckel, declare. Assuming Joeckel declares, Matthews will likely move to the left side for his final season with Ogbuehi on the right side. We won't be sure of Matthews' decision until he announces is, but the likely first-round tackle appears headed back to school.

Jake Matthews - T - Aggies

Former NFL scout Russ Lande cites a "good source" that tells him Texas A&M junior T Jake Matthews will return for his senior season.

This isn't a major surprise, although many expected the right tackle to enter this draft. Matthews likely wants a full season of tape on the left side, similarly to how the Pouncey brothers treated the NFL Draft and the center position. We will wait on official word after the Aggies' bowl game, however.

Jake Matthews - T - Aggies

Former NFL Scout, and current writer for the National Football Post, Russ Lande ranks Texas A&M junior T Jake Matthews over teammate Luke Joeckel.

Joeckel is nearly the consensus top tackle in this class, but Lande likes the Aggies right tackle just a little bit more. Matthews is currently ranked as the second best player on the list, with Joeckel at number four. Both have the mobility to play on the left side in the NFL, but we wouldn't be surprised if Matthews stays to show off tape at left tackle.

Jake Matthews - T - Aggies

Texas A&M head coach Ken Sumlin admitted the team will rely heavily on their offensive line this fall.

Despite having only one senior starter on the line, the group is the most experienced position on the team. "Those guys have led us this spring and adapted to what we’re doing," said Sumlin. The Aggies are moving away from the traditional offense they ran under Mike Sherman into a more quick hitting attack. However, Sumlin will likely adapt the offense to fit their best offensive weapon, senior running back Christine Michael. If healthy, Michael should have a great year behind junior tackles Luke Joeckel and Jake Matthews.
