BIIF football: Size matters not for Kamehameha’s Mathieu

Kamehameha defensive end Jashen Mathieu doesn’t look like a sackmaster. He’s 5 feet 10 and 170 pounds. That’s the typical frame of a slotback or corner.

But looks are deceiving when you watch the Warrior senior on film or from the bleachers on a football field.

Mathieu absolutely brings it. He goes full blast on every play. Obviously, he plays much bigger than his size, a reason for his 22 sacks on the season.

“He’s got a nonstop motor. He keeps moving, and he’s very fast and strong,” Kamehameha coach Dan Lyons said.
