Matthew Alvarez Matthew Alvarez 6'4" | 255 lbs | OL DePaul Catholic | 2026 State NJ , the 6’3.5” tackle from DePaul Catholic, earns two superlatives: Cleanest Prospect and Best in Tandem. His well-rounded skill set makes both titles well-deserved.
Alvarez stands out as the most technically sound tackle in the class. His ability to stay low in both run blocking and pass protection separates him. He fires off the ball with significant leverage, gaining early control in run sets. He keeps his body compact in pass protection, maintaining balance and staying square to defenders. At his size, that level of consistency is rare.
Beyond his talent, Alvarez excels in tandem. Playing correct tackle, he works seamlessly with his guard in both pass protection and run schemes. He stays alert to stunts, blitzes, and changing rush lanes, constantly adjusting to keep his side clean. He executes double teams well in the run game, then smoothly peels off to take out second-level defenders. His awareness and execution make him an anchor on the offensive line.
Despite flying under the radar, Alvarez is one of the more polished linemen in the state. He holds offers from West Virginia and UMass, but that list should grow as more programs recognize his versatility and technical prowess.
