Matt Landers must be a Johnny Cash fan, because he's been everywhere, man.
The Florida native originally committed to the Georgia Bulldogs as part of the 2017 recruiting class. The former 247Sports 3-star recruit spent four seasons with the program, but he never really gained much traction as a threat in the passing game.
The wide receiver transferred in 2021 to Toledo, where he led the Rockets with five touchdown receptions. His average of 25.7 yards per catch was the highest mark in the nation, albeit he only managed 20 receptions.
In 2022, Landers found his way to Arkansas. As a member of the Razorbacks, the 6'4", 200-pound target finally broke out with a team-leading 901 receiving yards. He finished 11th nationally at 19.2 yards per reception.
"I did decide to go back to the SEC just to prove to myself that I could play at that level," Landers said at the combine.
Having done just that, Landers now has a clearly defined role for the next level. The tall and lanky receiver is a serious deep threat, and his testing numbers back up the previous statement.
Despite being a bigger receiver, Landers ran a 4.37-second 40-yard dash at the combine. His explosiveness showed up with a 37-inch vertical and 10'10" broad jump, too.
Clearly, the two-time transfer presents the size-speed combination many professional teams want in an attempt to threaten every blade of grass on the field. Those traits alone make him a valuable target.
