About Me

  Hi everyone, my name is Samari Matthews and I'm thrilled to welcome you to my website. I've always wanted to share more about myself with the world. It’s no secret I'm a big fan of football and love everything about it - the sense of teamwork, the competitiveness, and the strategy involved. I started playing flag football when I was five years old, and later I was introduced to tackle football, and it was love at first sight. Football is a huge part of my life, but it's not the only thing that motivates me. Above all, my family is my biggest inspiration. They've always supported me, and I know I wouldn't be the man I am today without them. When I'm not playing football, I enjoy community service, hanging out with my friends, playing video games on my PS5, dancing, and creating TikTok videos with my older sister. The most common question I get is about the origin of my nickname, "Smoke." It actually started from my track and field days, as a reflection of my speed on the track. However, it's taken on a new meaning since I started playing football. "Smoke" represents my mental toughness and the fact that I'm never afraid of a challenge. I'm always looking for all the "Smoke"!
