Best of luck to Matthew. I was looking forward to seeing more of him this year, but injuries set him back. Lets send this senior class and MJ out with a victory! THWG

Dang, that must be a significant foot injury. Anybody know what he originally did?

Best of luck to Matthew! He was a team player.

Man I hate to see that. Best of luck to the young man.

When Stewart was interviewed about his 1st career TD, he sounded like he got emotional when talking about why he'd only let Jordan keep the ball for him. Maybe they've known for a while he was no longer playing.

Props to MJ. Thanks for everything and best of luck, young man.

Best of luck to him. He was a tough kid;I am glad he is hanging up his cleats if that is best for his health.

I count it a real problem for this year that Matthew got hurt so badly last spring. Any less of an injury and I think he would be starting right now. This is not a diss on TM, who has performed well above expectations in my book, but I think Matthew would have been as effective and with either Mills (too bad) or Benson would have made for a tougher team for opposing Ds, especially within the 15.

Thanks for your efforts for Tech and the best of everything going forward.

@Rock if you are still around ... tell him thank you for always bringing his toughness, physicality and smooth r&b voice to the field for the jackets.

I have no inside knowledge, but based on comments and articles that I've read I think he must have fractured that outside bone in the foot which required a screw and surgery. I did the same thing last year. While my injury isn't at risk for additional issues, I can see how a diabetic has many more complications and needs additional to heal - I'm sure he is susceptible to re-injury and permanent issues where I was not.

When I read this I was so sad for him - I was sad when he hurt himself in the spring and when he didn't make it as the starter. (Nothing against TQM - I like him just fine - they are just different) It was like the Byerly injury for me, and made me tear up....poked a hole in my happy bubble to see him have to decide to give it up.

Good luck, Matthew. You will be missed.

Thanks.

Matthew came in early with my grandson and they have enjoyed a good friendship. He is a class guy from a great family. Hope to see the Jordans one more time and wish them all the best.

Thanks.

Tell we will miss him.

Always was a hell of a team player. Sucks about the injury. Wish we could’ve used him more to help our redzone offense this year but I think the injury was really limiting him. He really came through for us last year at VT.

I am sure it is some sort of confirmation bias, but it seems that Tech has more of these career ending injuries than other programs. Also have to seemed to have more than our fair share of other medical weirdness like Greg Gathers.

Regardless....all the best for Mr. Jordan!

Happens everywhere. I doubt you’d really notice when a backup QB of some other team around the country has a career ending injury.

He has a great future ahead of him and he got to play a collegiate sport. We should all be so lucky!

 

[JacketFromUGA]

Hate to lose him. Always has been a solid guy to root for. Hope nothing but the best for him and I hope @Rock lets him know how we all appreciated him.

 

[collegeballfan]

It appears he took advantage of the opportunity and will be walking away with a sackful of future.

The positive news is that he's got a reputation for being a workhorse in the classroom as well which leads me to believe he's positioned just fine for the rest of his life.
