Under Mattox, EIU’s offensive line helped the offense amass over 8,000 yards in 2013, including 5,000-plus passing yards and more than 3,000 rushing yards.

Mattox coached at EIU following six years as an offensive line/tight ends coach in the junior college ranks.

He coached 31 all-conference offensive linemen and six junior college All-Americans.

Mattox began his coaching career at the University of Houston first working with the football program as an assistant strength coach in 2005 and then as a graduate assistant coaching offensive tackles in 2006.
