Penn’s steady, high-motor linebacker with starter upside
In the 2024 season, Max Matolcsy appeared in all 10 games for Penn and made two starts at linebacker, finishing with 25 tackles and 13 solo stops after posting 16 tackles in 2023. He looks like the kind of dependable, assignment-sound defender coaches love: active, durable, and clearly trusted enough to earn starts and CSC Academic All-District recognition. His value is less about flashy splash plays and more about consistency, effort, and growing responsibility — a good fit if you want a smart, physical LB who can keep improving in a structured system.
