Finnish freshman DL Mattias Kass brings size, captaincy, and a disruptive edge to Bucknell
Mattias Kass is a 2026 freshman defensive lineman for Bucknell who already stands out for his frame, effort, and production upside: at 6-foot-4, 240 pounds, he arrives from St. Anne’s Belfield after posting 13 sacks, 59 tackles, and 14 tackles for loss in his senior season, while also serving as a team captain. In his 2025 freshman season, he played in 11 games, recorded six tackles, and logged his first career sack against Saint Francis, which suggests a developing but real impact player with a high-motor, physical profile. His Finnish track background and early leadership hints at a tough, coachable fit for a rotation with growth potential.
