He appeared in 52 games at Virginia Tech over the last four seasons and compiled 181 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries for the Hokies. Mathis was a 2023 sixth-round pick of the Rams and he finished last season on the Jets' practice squad. He played 14 games for the Rams, Patriots and Eagles in 2023 and 2024.
