Spencer Matthaei was Yale’s inside-force wrecking ball in 2019
In the 2019 season, Spencer Matthaei gave Yale a rare game-wrecker at defensive tackle: he was named a second-team All-Ivy League selection, tied for the national lead with three blocked kicks, and was described by Yale as a force “inside all season.”[1][3][4] At 6-foot-4 and 285 pounds, he brought power, length, and special-teams impact—plus he had already earned All-Ivy recognition the year before—making him the kind of high-motor interior defender who changes field position, not just box scores.[1][5]
