Matthias is one of the top all around interior OL in the class of 2025. Standing at 6’5, Matthias has an impressive first step off the LOS. He shows strong hands and total body power by driving the defender backward. Plays with good technique and leverage. I like the physical nature that Matthias plays with. Don’t be surprised when the Division 1 schools start offering.
