Matt is a young African-American man with short black hair and brown eyes.

During the Prologue, Matt wears a grey t-shirt, a grey hoodie, and a pair of jeans.

When the group meets up one year later, Matt is seen wearing gray track pants and a light cobalt-blue Letterman jacket over a light jean jacket, and a grey turtleneck.

As the game progresses, Matt's appearance becomes slightly more disheveled, namely after the fall of the fire tower. He becomes dirtier and receives multiple scratches, the most prominent ones on his back and torso, alongside tattered clothing.

Personality
Matt is described in-game as motivated, ambitious and active, which is mostly remarking on his visible passion for sports. Despite his impressively strong appearance, Matt's character is far from being impetuous: he generally comes across as friendly, even being described as the good guy of the group by Dr. Hill. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he has a big heart and knows when to stay out of the way of situations.Matt is also described as having low bravery, which is mainly translated to mean that he is a pushover, especially when it comes to his new girlfriend, Emily, to whom he is fiercely loyal to. Their relationship can be clearly quite one-sided at times, and Emily may take advantage of this trait.

However, his cowardly side can be countered by his brave side, in which he risks his own well-being and safety to save those close to him.

Biography
Matt is the high school's star linebacker, but he isn't necessarily the sharpest tool in the box. He's hoping for a sports scholarship to a top college, because his GPA isn't going to cut the mustard. He mostly plays the part of the big friendly giant, but when Matt sees red, it's best to stay out of his way.

Matt is fiercely loyal to his new girlfriend, Emily, maybe even too loyal. Theirrelationship could be described as being a little one-way: when Emily says something, Matt does it.
