College Resume
Matthew Golden, a wide receiver, carved out an impressive collegiate career across two programs in Texas. He began at the University of Houston (2022-2023), where he played two seasons in the AAC and Big 12 conferences before transferring to the University of Texas for his junior year in 2024 (SEC).
Golden was a Houston native and a four-star recruit out of Klein Cain High School, initially committing to TCU before flipping to Houston. At Houston, he burst onto the scene as a freshman in 2022, setting a program record for a first-year player with seven touchdown receptions. After two productive seasons with the Cougars, he moved to Texas, where he emerged as a key Longhorn playmaker in their 2024 College Football Playoff run. Golden declared for the 2025 NFL Draft after his junior season, forgoing his final year of eligibility.
Houston (2022-2023): Played 25 games over two seasons, establishing himself as a dynamic receiver and special teams contributor. Recorded 13 receiving touchdowns and added two kickoff return scores.
Texas (2024): Started all 15 games, leading the team in receiving yards and touchdowns. Shined in big moments, including a 162-yard performance in the SEC Championship against Georgia and a 149-yard, game-winning touchdown effort in the Peach Bowl against Arizona State.
