veteran, physical Utah State safety with a linebacker’s mentality
Matt Ferguson profiles as a tough, in-the-box safety who brings physicality, tackling reliability, and experience to Utah State’s defense. In the 2018 season, he started 11 of 12 games and finished with 68 tackles, 1.0 sack, and 3.0 tackles for loss, a stat line that shows he can impact both run support and backfield disruption[1]. If your team wants a downhill defensive back who plays with edge and won’t shy away from contact, he’s the kind of guy who fits—especially when leadership and tone-setting matter as much as splash plays[1].
