Arizona’s Matthew Lado is a rising, plug-and-play tackle with real Big 12 upside
Matthew Lado has turned late-season opportunity into momentum: in Arizona’s 2025 run, he stepped in at tackle, started the final stretch, and reportedly gave up no sacks in 183 pass-blocking snaps while showing the poise coaches love in a backup-turned-starter. The 6-foot-6, 319-pound Glendale native brings length, toughness, and a steady practice habit, with analysts praising his upside as a potential lockdown Big 12 tackle. If your team wants a young lineman who already looks battle-tested, coachable, and ready for a bigger role, he’s the kind of mauler worth circling.
