Versatile LIU DB with special-teams value and room to grow
In the 2025 season, Felix Matos was a freshman defensive back for LIU who appeared in limited defensive action but showed added value on special teams, including 7 punt returns for 37 yards and 4 kickoff returns for 65 yards. He’s a compact, active defender at 5'11", 195 lbs on the 2026 roster, suggesting a sturdier frame than his freshman listing. The appeal here is versatility, willingness to contribute in multiple phases, and developmental upside rather than big-stat flash. If a team wants a scrappy, multi-role DB with special-teams juice, Matos is worth a look.
