late offer, got looked over by tennessee and alabama. pretty sure he got bumpd up to a 4 star when lsu offered him. obviously, a lot of teams were hesitant because of his size, and obviously that paid dividends for lsu

Mathieu was offered and committed in July before his senior year.

according to the game cast UT and Bama each had him in a camp and did not offer...

That's not true at all.

Mathieu committed in the summer. Tennessee was on him and hoping we'd overlook him, after he balled out at their camp.

Two big studs at that camp: Jarvis Landry and Mathieu. Supposedly, Mathieu was the only one who could cover Landry that day.
