Matt Corral has made quite the name for himself while playing for the Ole Miss Rebels. His 2021 season has put him on the map as a well-known prospect and in a position to be a first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. He hasn't had the most stellar collegiate career compared to some other prospects, but he has proved himself in the last two seasons. Matt is leaving Ole Miss as a much better leader, improviser and dual-threat than when he arrived in 2018.
Prior to Ole Miss, Matt Corral had a rather interesting football career in high school. He first attended Oaks Christian School in Westlake Village, California, in Los Angeles County. Corral would later switch schools to Long Beach Polytechnic High School located in Long Beach.
One of the more popular stories about Matt Corral was that he transferred schools after believing Oaks Christian School was mostly full of "rich kids...never going to have to work a day in their lives." But that wasn't the only reason he left. Speaking of "rich kids," he was classmates with one of the sons of NHL "GOAT" Wayne Gretzky. The two ended up in a physical altercation, and Matt wanted to leave all the negativity behind and start fresh at a new school.
