FIU’s Matthew Pointer brings long, athletic upside to the edge
Matthew Pointer is a **freshman defensive lineman** at FIU with the frame and multi-sport athleticism coaches covet: he’s listed around **6-foot-4 to 6-foot-6 and 230-238 pounds**, and high school reports credited him with **42 tackles, 20.5 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks, a forced fumble and three passes defended** in his senior season. FIU describes him as a “**long athletic edge pass rusher**,” which fits a developmental prospect who wins with length, burst and effort more than proven college production so far. He looks like a good fit for a program that wants disruptive traits and ceiling over instant polish.
