Matthew Rau is Bryant’s big, steady trench piece with starter chops and plug-and-play flexibility
In the 2025 season, Matthew Rau is a 6-foot-5, 302-pound graduate offensive lineman who has been a reliable multi-year contributor for Bryant, appearing in four games in 2025 and eight in 2024 while helping the offense stay productive up front. He’s valued more for steadiness than flash: Bryant described him as someone who started and filled in for injured teammates, and his frame plus experience give him guard/tackle flexibility. If a team wants a seasoned, low-drama, assignment-sound lineman who can survive the grind, Rau looks like a solid fit.
