FORT COLLINS — Colorado State senior safety Trent Matthews has been named a member of the 11-man Football Bowl Subdivision Allstate/American Football Coaches Association Good Works Team, honoring Matthews for his community involvement and off-the-the-field activities.
Matthews has been a youth football coach in Fort Collins summer camps and otherwise heavily involved in the program, and is a regular visitor to area schools, serving as a mentor. Matthews, from Converse, Texas, already has graduated and is working towards a master’s degree this fall. Because he has a Tuesday evening class, he has to leave and isn’t available to the media in the post-practice interview window on Tuesdays, but he met with reporters early Tuesday afternoon after the honor was announced.
