Reliable BYU safety who brings toughness, instincts, and special-teams value
In his BYU career, Matthew Criddle has been a dependable depth piece in the secondary and a gritty contributor on special teams, finishing with 35 total tackles (18 solo, 17 assisted) and peaking at 13 tackles in the 2021 season, per BYU Athletics. He flashed playmaking ability with an interception against Idaho State in 2021, showing solid ball skills and good field awareness. Criddle isn’t a headline-grabber, but he’s the kind of coachable, hard-nosed defensive back who can help a team with effort, discipline, and versatility.
