We was named to the College Sports Journal FCS All-America team in 2013 after capturing second-team accolades in 2011 from Beyond Sports College Network. He ranked among the top 20 all-time in career passing yards in the FCS and set the Ivy League's all-time passing record by more than 2,000 yards. He ended his career with 47 Big Red school records and 18 Ivy League marks for passing and total offense. The three-time All-Ivy selection was a Capital One Academic All-District first-team selection as a senior and a two-time finalist for the Bushnell Cup for the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year, winning in 2011. The program’s first-ever three-year team captain was named one of 16 finalists for the National Football Foundation's William V. Campbell Trophy that recognizes the top football scholar-athlete in the nation in 2013. After his senior season, Mathews became the fifth Cornellian to accept an invite to the East-West Shrine game, serving as a team captain for the East team. He has also accepted an invitation to the Draft Combine in preparation for the NFL Draft. He spent time in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons, Indianapolis Colts and the Arizona Cardinals.
