11/28/20 - DE Michael Matus, rSr/2024, Arizona State

What has impressed Arizona State defensive line coach Robert Rodriguez most about sophomore Michael Matus isn't the work he has done on the football field, it's the focus he also has away from it. Matus, a 6-foot-2, 253-pounds from Katy, Texas, played little last year but has worked his way into the Sun Devils starting lineup at defensive end. It was a surprise with junior linebacker-turned-defensive end Tyler Johnson the one most had pegged for that starting spot. Rodriguez, who came to ASU after coaching the same position for the Minnesota Vikings, is a stickler for detail, and he isn't always the easiest coach to impress. Matus has been one athlete who has done so.

"He asks all the right questions and he is a quick study," Rodriguez said. "He'll see something in a game he watched on television and then come to me the next day and ask about it. He's always thinking and focusing on what he needs to do to get better, not just when he's on the football field. There aren't a lot of guys that think that way." Rodriguez is the school's sixth position coach in as many years, so Matus has had a lot of voices when it comes to the intricacies of the defensive line. He was recruited by previous head coach Todd Graham but opted to honor his commitment to the school despite the coaching change. As a true freshman he contributed on the scout team. Then last season he saw some time as a reserve in certain packages and on special teams. - Arizona Republic
