Matt's Bio

I am a 20 year old student at the UNC-Pembroke majoring in mass communications so I can, duh, become a sports journalist.

I work for Scotland County Parks and Recreation in Laurinburg, North Carolina as their Marketing Specialist.

Huge North Carolina and ACC fan, but also enjoy the Braves and the Panthers.

  1. be nice

  2. Hi. I actually added two of the sports articles I wrote for feature writing last semester to the site. When I google my name this is what comes up so I figured I should probably add something for people to read.

  3. Hey Matt—Dave Mo here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

    I've been spending time on our UNC Football page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

    Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

    If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at dmorrison@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

    Thanks so much,

    Dave Mo

  4. Yeah I've been to all the home games this year. Its just been crazy with going to the games and working I haven't had a ton of down time to write much. I'll be missing the ND game because of a Bachelor Party and the BC game because of the wedding so I'm gonna try and get some writing done since I won't be traveling to chapel hill those weekends.

  5. Matt,

    Glad to have you in the poll! Can you send me an e-mail at kgreen.23@live.com so I can add you to the list? I will give the details in a response to your e-mail.

  6. Matt,

    I want to start a B/R college football poll with B/R writers as the pollsters.

    If you are interested, I would love for you to participate.

    Thanks!

  7. afraid of all the hype the heels are getting this offseason?

  8. Thanks for the Pick of the Day vote!

  9. '03-'07 and yeah I know both of them really well, we played ball together. Jacoby Watkins was from Scotland too if I'm not mistaken. They're good guys and from everything I gather Hilee is turning heads with the Panthers and although they're still looking for a position for him he's going to be a serious contributor on special teams.

    I feel bad for Cam, coming in we were so high on him and expecting huge things and the injuries just added up to be a bit much for him to overcome. After the first ankle injury he really wasn't the same, lost a lot of his fearlessness and the speed dropped off a bit.

    Anyways, yeah I know them, they're too really good football players and two of the best guys in general from the team.

  10. No problem, anytime.

  11. Thanks for pick and the add. Go Heels!

  12. Wassup bro? Hope you get that job covering parks and rec little league baseball. haha

  13. Thanks for the read and the comment, yeah growing up in Charlotte and living here listening to the sports radio and talking to fans its obvious how apathetic they are unless the Panthers or Bobcats are winning.

  14. Hey! check out my picutre... cool huh?
    Keep writing cool stuff... I bet I am your #1 fan.
    And we went to the UNC v. OSU game together freshman year... sweet!

  15. Thanks for the add Matt, I really appreciate it.
