Elite Athlete with Dual-Sport Versatility Arrives at UNLV
The 6'0", 190-lb safety from Lake Cormorant, MS enrolled at UNLV in January 2026 after an explosive senior season. Mathews is a rare multi-positional talent—equally comfortable at safety, cornerback, or running back—who accumulated 2,401 rushing yards and 33 TDs in his final prep year. His elite athleticism (4.51 40-time, 37" vertical, 285-lb bench) combined with 69 career tackles and 3,600+ all-purpose yards makes him a high-upside prospect. His versatility and production suggest he could contribute immediately on special teams or develop into a defensive playmaker for the Rebels.
