Matthew McDoom brings CB1 energy: ball production, toughness, and instant-impact playmaking
McDoom is a feisty, older-transfer corner who looked like Cincinnati’s top cover man in the 2025 season, finishing with 50 tackles and a 100-yard pick-six while starting every regular-season game[4][15]. His calling card is ball production and confidence in man coverage: in the 2024 season at Coastal Carolina, he earned first-team All-Sun Belt honors with 36 tackles, 10 pass breakups, 3 interceptions, and an 84.5 PFF grade[10][11]. At 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-11, he wins with toughness, instincts, and urgency more than size, which makes him a strong fit for a defense that values aggressive, disruptive corners[4][8][13].
