“I remember when I got my first offer. It was for the Florida Gators. I was eating Chipotle after a game and my coach said ‘You got an offer for college,’” Matos said. “I was like, I like this. I got a future.”

Matos got 16 offers and ended up at New Mexico for his freshman year where he started 15 games and played in 20. While at Hamilton Heights Christian Academy in Chattanooga, he ranked No. 3 in the state and No. 16 in the country after posting the most rebounds in Tennessee.

In the Dominican Republic, Matos was known for his skills in baseball, but he was not passionate about it. 

“I used to be a baseball player. That’s what I did my whole life. I was pretty good at it … but I didn’t like it,” he said. “Everybody used to see me as a baseball player, but I didn’t see myself as a baseball player. I was good at it, because when I do something, I do it all the way.”

Now with football, he believes he can really show his abilities, strength and power. Despite not having a football background, coach Jeff Scott welcomed him with open arms, so Matos said he is repaying him with this work ethic.
