Jeff Mathews
Jeffrey Kyle Mathews (born August 25, 1991) is an American former professional football player who was a quarterback for four seasons in the Canadian Football League (CFL). He played college football for the Cornell Big Red, ranking among the top 20 quarterbacks in passing yardage in Division I FCS history. He surpassed the Cornell record for total passing yards by more than 2,000 yards and ended his collegiate career as the holder of 47 Cornell and 18 Ivy League conference records. After going undrafted in the 2014 NFL draft, Mathews spent the summer with the Atlanta Falcons, and was a practice squad member of the Indianapolis Colts and the Arizona Cardinals. He moved north to the CFL, playing two seasons with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and a season each with the Toronto Argonauts and the Montreal Alouettes.
Jeff Mathews was born August 25, 1991, in Camarillo, California, the son of Shellie and Jeff Mathews. His parents divorced when he was young and Mathews was raised by his father in Colorado, and California, with his mother and older sister living in Florida. Mathews' sister Katie was paralyzed in an automobile accident in May 2006 when the car in which she was a passenger flipped when the driver swerved abruptly to avoid missing a freeway exit. By 2013, she was living in Texas and working as a motivational speaker, focusing on the issue of the dangers of distracted driving.
He attended Adolfo Camarillo High School (ACHS), a public school in Camarillo. During his high school football career, Mathews led the ACHS Scorpions' junior varsity football team to a 9–1 record in the 2007 season. Promoted to starting quarterback of the varsity team for the 2008 and 2009 campaigns, Mathews passed for 49 touchdowns and nearly 5,000 yards, against 18 interceptions, averaging over 227 yards per game in the air. Mathews was named Ventura County Player of the Year as a Senior in honor of his accomplishments.
A two-sport athlete, the 6'4" Mathews also started at forward on the ACHS varsity basketball team, wearing jersey #23 for head coach Mike Prewitt. Although he dreamed of starting at quarterback for the University of Notre Dame, Mathews was not offered a scholarship by any Football Bowl Subdivision (Division I-A) university.
Mathews did not receive a scholarship to play football for Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, part of the Football Championship Subdivision (Division I-AA), as no Ivy League school gives athletic scholarships. At Cornell, injuries thrust him into the role of starting quarterback at halftime of the first game of his Freshman season. The quarterback job proved to be his for the rest of his collegiate career. Mathews broke the school's single game passing yards record for a Freshman in his first start in the Ivy League opener against Yale University and ended the season with 1,723 yards in the air and 7 touchdown passes, with an additional two touchdowns rushing the football. For his efforts, Mathews was unanimously named the 2010 Ivy League Rookie of the Year.
During his 2011 Sophomore campaign, Mathews managed to smash the Cornell single game passing record, racking up 548 yards against Penn. He also set school seasonal records for passing yardage (3,412 yards), touchdown passes (25), and completion percentage (.679). Mathews was ranked third nationally in passing yards per game and passing efficiency and was twice named Ivy League and national player of the week. For his achievements, Mathews was awarded the 2011 Bushnell Cup winner as Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year.
Mathews was hampered by injuries during the 2012 Ivy League season, his Junior year. Nevertheless, he managed to lead the league in passing attempts, completions, and yards, managing to accumulate nearly 3,200 yards in the air despite missing a game. Mathews' 355.1 yards passing per game ranked second nationally and he became Cornell's all-time leading passer with 8,331 yards in the air — smashing the previous record of 7,710 yards held by Ricky Rahne. Mathews was named to the All-Ivy second-team for his heroics and was runner-up for the 2012 Bushnell Cup as the Ivy League's top offensive player.
The 2013 season, Mathews' Senior year, was marked by additional Ivy League honors, including the season's top numbers for attempts, completions, and passing yards (2,953). Mathews's 328.1 yards per game topped the Ivy League and he finished second in passing touchdowns, with 22. He finished 19th in the 2013 Walter Payton Award Voting. Following the season Mathews was named to the College Sports Journal FCS All-America team and received the additional honor of becoming only the fifth player in Cornell school history invited to participate in the East–West Shrine Game, serving as captain of the East squad. Mathews was also invited to participate in the NFL Scouting Combine in preparation for the 2014 NFL draft.
