Dylan spent his sophomore season proving to be an opportunistic defensive back. He demonstrated the ability to bait QBs into bad decisions, as well as the range to recover and track down the ball. Mattson is also a solid WR. He has the speed to get behind the DBs and reel in the ball with ease. Mattson has shown to have a knack for making the big play. The sophomore also has the quickness to win in the short area. We could be in store for a big breakout year as Thorp looks to have a dominant year.
