All-Big Sky center turned Northern Arizona tone-setter
Matt Raivio was a first-team All-Big Sky center for Northern Arizona in the 2002 and 2003 seasons, earning All-American recognition in 2003 and anchoring the Lumberjacks’ offensive line during a championship run. He also drew academic honors, which hints at the kind of dependable, high-IQ, low-drama player coaches love: tough, assignment-sound, and built to steady an offense. If you want a cerebral interior lineman with proven production and leadership credentials, Raivio absolutely fits the bill.
