Patrick Matan brings veteran size and interior-line flexibility to Montana
In the 2025 season, Patrick Matan arrived at Montana as a graduate transfer from NC State and quickly slotted into the Grizzlies’ interior line mix, giving them a 6-foot-4, 301-pound veteran body with Power 4 experience. He’s not a flashy stat-sheet guy — he’s a trench grinder whose value is consistency, depth, and special-teams toughness from his NC State days, where he played in 13 games in 2024 and logged heavy special-teams work in 2023. If your team needs a grown-man guard who understands assignment football and raises the floor of the room, he fits the bill.
