Heading up a stout secondary is Felix Matos Felix Matos 5'9" | 170 lbs | ATH Phillipsburg | 2025 State NJ . The junior cornerback was credited with 34 tackles (27 solo) with 1 TFL and 3 picks; he contributed on offense with 19 carries for 129 yards and 2 scores. As a corner Matos is capable of doing a lot of things well. His first clip was absolutely impressive. Against what appears to be a wing-t team, to the close side we see Matos take on an oncoming blocker, block him up, and make the tackle on the ball carrier at the same time – all the while not giving up the edge as a force player covering a tight end. As impressive as that play was, at the 1:18 mark of is film Matos is in press coverage at the goal line against a single-receiver to his side. He jams the receiver, sheds the block by going inside, re-establishes his run fit leverage, and manages to make the tackle on a back in the flat. Truly, a tremendous play. Not to be outdone, on another clip we see Matos play backside corner on a play away from him. He hustles and hawks the ball carrier down way downfield on the other side of the field. Matos typically plays either in your face or about 7-10 yards off. Although he may not jam when in press, he sees slants and other in-breaking routes, gets in your hip pocket, and sees things early enough to fight over the top to play the ball. When at receiver, we see Matos high points the ball and likes to deliver head-fakes to create space. Also the Liners’ wildcat back, he often makes the first man miss en route to additional yardage. Clearly a good, solid, well coached player, Matos can stand to improve his tackling, as he is a bit of a arm tackler right now.
