BLOCKBUSTER: Texas Longhorns WR Matthew Golden Declares for 2025 NFL Draft in Shocking Move—JUST NOW
In a major development for the Texas Longhorns, standout wide receiver Matthew Golden has officially declared for the 2025 NFL Draft. The explosive pass catcher, who transferred from Houston to Texas and made an immediate impact, is set to take his talents to the next level.
Golden, a dynamic playmaker, finished the 2024 season as one of Texas’ most reliable targets, recording 58 receptions for 987 yards and nine touchdowns. His ability to stretch the field and make clutch plays in the red zone made him a crucial weapon for quarterback Quinn Ewers. His draft stock has skyrocketed in recent weeks, with analysts projecting him as a potential Day 2 pick due to his speed, route-running, and ability to create separation.
After battling injuries during his time at Houston, Golden rebounded with a strong season at Texas, demonstrating the athleticism and skill set that NFL scouts covet. His verified 10.93-second 100-meter dash speed suggests he could post an impressive 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine, further boosting his draft appeal.
While Texas will miss his contributions, Golden’s departure solidifies the Longhorns as a program capable of developing elite talent for the next level. Now, all eyes turn to his pre-draft preparations as he aims to make a name for himself in the NFL.
