is a true mike backer in every sense. A better-than-solid pass defender, we see Matesic take his drops and get his head on a swivel as he looks to pick off any crossers. He is equally proficient in reading his keys as he prefers to get over the top when stopping the run. I noticed that Matesic refrains from biting on jet motions and false keys, too. No mike linebacker would be worth their weight in salt if he did not tackle well, would he? Matesic does just that has he keeps his feet buzzing and wraps with a vice grip. He is a master of tracking nearside hips and hustles. On a few occasions I noticed Matesic beating playside defenders to the point of attack.

delivered one of the game’s most pivotal moments for Bergen Catholic. The 6’1”, 220-pound linebacker came up huge in the second half when Don Bosco, pinned at their 1-yard line, attempted to run the ball out of the end zone. Matesic shot through the gap quickly and precisely, making a clutch one-on-one tackle for safety.
That play shifted the momentum completely, sparking Bergen Catholic’s confidence and leading to a dominant second-half performance. They scored two unanswered touchdowns, the only ones of the half, to secure the state championship. Matesic’s instincts and toughness were instrumental in this defensive masterpiece.
