Monmouth DB Eli Mathis is a developing depth piece with a proven tackle profile
Eli Mathis enters Monmouth as a young defensive back who has already seen game action, appearing in one game in 2025 and recording a solo tackle at Hampton; his pre-college résumé also showed disruptive production, including 6.0 sacks in high school, which hints at a physical, aggressive defender rather than a pure coverage specialist. [3][1] For a staff looking for a versatile, high-motor DB who can contribute on special teams and keep climbing with coaching, Mathis looks like a low-risk developmental fit.
