Texas State coach Doug Davalos' first signee back in April, 2006 ... one of three players to have 100+ rebounds last season ... nicked up during the preseason and had off-season surgery but has made strides from a year ago ... "Matt has approached this preseason with a tremendous, positive attitude. He has had to catch up from the summer while recovering from off-season surgery. What has been impressive is he really hasn't been catching up, he has been doing the things necessary to get ahead. I believe Matt has been underestimated his entire career but he is a very stubborn and proud young man. Anytime he has been underestimated, he has had the best years of his career. I'm looking for a special senior year from him." -- Doug Davalos.
