A Rising Star in Texas Baseball
Standing 6-foot-1 and weighing 165 pounds, Boughton is celebrated for his exceptional athleticism and versatility. As a right-handed hitter and thrower, he has showcased impressive performances both at the plate and in the field. Notably, during the AABC Don Mattingly World Series, he posted a .429 batting average with three home runs and 12 RBIs, demonstrating his power and consistency . Additionally, at the Perfect Game Jupiter event, he maintained a .375 average with four doubles over six games, highlighting his ability to perform under pressure.
Commitment to Texas A&M
Boughton’s commitment to Texas A&M adds to a stellar 2025 recruiting class that includes four top-100 national prospects, such as outfielder Josiah Hartshorn and shortstop Nicholas Partida. This class is ranked among the nation’s best and is expected to significantly enhance the Aggies’ roster depth and talent pool.
Looking Ahead
With Boughton joining a team that recently reached the College World Series finals, the Aggies are poised for continued success. His addition not only strengthens the team’s infield but also brings a dynamic offensive presence. As he prepares for his senior season at Covenant Christian Academy, all eyes will be on Boughton as he looks to make an impact both in high school and, eventually, in College Station.
Texas A&M’s acquisition of Matthew Boughton marks a significant milestone in their recruiting efforts, reflecting the program’s commitment to building a competitive and talented team for the future.
