UMass Standout Center from 2015 Era
Matt Sparks, a 6-4, 275-pound center for the Massachusetts Minutemen, earned Rimington Trophy (top center) and Outland Trophy (top OL) watch list nods in the 2015 season as a senior, showcasing elite run-blocking strength and leadership from his Punahou School roots in Honolulu. Known for his wrestling-honed toughness and multi-sport versatility (football, baseball), he was a reliable anchor for UMass's line with no notable injury history—ideal for teams seeking gritty, intelligent interior linemen who elevate the unit's intensity. Post-college, he's transitioned to coaching, but his playing tape screams NFL practice squad potential.
