Michigan State Linebacker Wayne Matthews Opens Up About Harrowing USC Injury That Shook Fans Worldwide
Wayne Matthews has become nothing short of the heartbeat for Michigan State’s defense this season. The guy’s not just showing up—he’s laying it all on the line as a key figure that the Spartans lean on heavily throughout 2025. Of course, it hasn’t been smooth sailing; the frightening moment when Matthews was rushed off after that brutal hit against USC sent shockwaves through the team and fans alike. But here’s the silver lining—Matthews bounced back spectacularly, proving his grit by returning to the field stronger than ever. His stats? Pretty impressive, with 46 tackles, a handful for loss, and that slick interception that underlined his all-around prowess at linebacker. Just this past Wednesday, he opened up to the media, giving us a raw and real glimpse into his injury battle and what it took mentally and physically to fight back. If you want to catch all the details straight from Wayne himself, Spartan Mag’s got the full sit-down on YouTube. LEARN MORE
Michigan State football linebacker Wayne Matthews is a leader of the defense, and someone that the team has relied heavily on for the 2025 season.
This season, while good at times, has also had some scary moments for the Old Dominion transfer. Most notably when Matthews was carted off of the field and taken to the hospital against USC. Since then, though, Matthews has made an outstanding recovery and has gotten healthy enough to make his way back onto the football field.
On the year, Matthews has 46 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and an interception, showing versatility at the linebacker spot.
Matthews took the podium on Wednesday, speaking to the media about his experiences with the injury, and what it took to get back onto the field following the scary scene.
