Robert Morris’ proven big-play TE with a nose for the end zone
In the 2019 season, Matthew Gonzalez was Robert Morris’ top receiving threat at tight end, finishing with 34 catches for 563 yards and 4 touchdowns, and he closed his RMU career with 96 receptions, 1,473 yards, and 17 scores[13]. Earlier, he ranked among the nation’s better FCS tight ends in receiving yards and repeatedly produced chunk plays, including an 81-yard touchdown grab and multiple multi-touchdown outings[8][14]. The quick-hit takeaway: he was a physical, high-upside mismatch who could stretch the seam and convert key downs—exactly the kind of TE who makes a defense lose sleep.
