Anthony Mattison brings a downhill, playmaking edge to Missouri State’s secondary
Anthony Mattison is a junior safety for Missouri State in the 2026 season, and his value goes beyond the box score: he arrived after two strong seasons at Dodge City CC, where he posted 62 tackles, 13.0 tackles for loss, 4.0 sacks and an interception in 2025, showing rare backfield disruption for a defensive back. He fits as a physical, versatile defender who can play both safety and linebacker traits, and his early 2026 debut included 2 tackles and a sack at Texas A&M, hinting at an aggressive, high-motor fit for teams that want contact and versatility over flash.
