Matt Stancliff is McNeese’s table-setter with pop, speed, and big-game juice
In the 2026 season, Matt Stancliff emerged as a high-impact infielder for McNeese, leading the Cowboys with a .329 average, 39 runs, 48 hits, 77 total bases, and a perfect 18-for-18 on stolen bases while also drawing attention as Southland Hitter of the Week after a 7-for-14 stretch and a 5-for-5 breakout against Nicholls. He profiles as an energizer: contact-oriented, aggressive on the bases, and capable of changing a game with extra-base pop and timely production. Add the gold-glove JUCO background and clutch résumé, and he looks like a plug-and-play tone-setter.
