Army safety Collin Matteson is a proven, playmaking senior who finished 2025 as a tackling leader and pass-breakup threat
Matteson matters because he projects as a high-floor defensive back: in the 2025 season, he started 12 games, ranked third on Army with 79 tackles, led the defense in pass breakups, and added an interception in a signature performance that earned FWAA National Defensive Player of the Week honors. He looks like a fit for teams that value intelligence, physicality, and reliability over flash; Army’s staff used him as a steady back-end defender, and his Pro Day showing suggested measurable athletic upside, too.
