Matthew Gratzek was a dominant NDSU interior force and an all-conference, All-America-caliber tackle
In the 2010 season, Matthew Gratzek anchored North Dakota State’s defensive front as a 6-foot-2, 289-pound senior defensive tackle and earned Missouri Valley Football Conference all-conference recognition, with his NDSU bio also noting All-America-level acclaim in program history. He was the kind of interior lineman coaches love: sturdy, disruptive, and hard to move, with size that translated into real leverage in the trenches. If you want a plug-and-play run defender who can collapse a pocket and bring veteran edge, Gratzek checked those boxes in a big way.
