Ian Mathews brings veteran size and steady edge-setting to Georgia State
In the 2024 season, Georgia State DE Ian Mathews played in nine games and posted 26 total tackles, including a season-best six tackles against Texas State, showing a solid, physical presence more than flashy sack production. At 6-foot-4 and around 290 pounds, he profiles as a sturdy run defender and rotational edge who fits a straightforward, hard-nosed front. The big differentiator: proven experience and durability in the lineup, plus enough frame to hold up against Sun Belt run games. If you want an effort-first defender who can anchor and eat snaps, Mathews makes sense.
