Matos went undrafted last year and spent the season on the practice squad. He was a college basketball player from 2019 through 2022 at both the University of New Mexico and the University of South Florida.

He then walked on for the Bulls' football team for the 2022 season, starting out as a defensive lineman before going on the offensive side of the ball.

Matos was born in the Dominican Republic and moved to the United States when he was 16. He originally played baseball as a child but preferred the hardwood.

Matos impressed at his pro day ahead of the draft, running a 4.88 40-yard dash despite weighing over 300 pounds at 6-foot-7. Had he participated in the NFL Scouting Combine, his 40-time would have been the fastest among all linemen.
