Following two very productive seasons – including a 96-tackle, 4-sack sophomore season and an 82-tackle, 5-fumble recovery and 5-sack junior season – Tolbert Matthews is one of the top linebackers in the 2007 class in the state of Virginia. And he is drawing heavy interest from both 1A state programs as well as a handful of out-of-state schools.

“Tolbert is maybe about 6-2, maybe about 225 pounds,” Norview head coach Robert Toran said. “He plays linebacker for me.

He is one of the top linebackers returning in the Tidewater region and in the state.”
