Overlooked throughout his football career, Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman Matt Goncalves looks to make a name for himself in the NFL.
From highlight-generating plays to racking up numbers in the box score, elite talent is typically easy to spot. Players are acknowledged by the media and fans for their abilities and impact on winning games.
Despite his love for basketball, Goncalves began to realize in middle school that football was his best sport. He was bigger than almost all of the kids his age, allowing him to be a beast on the gridiron. Goncalves lettered in basketball all four years of high school, but his future was in football.
Goncalves became a three-star recruit and the No.5 ranked player in New York. He became the top-ranked offensive lineman in New York for the class of 2019, generating more interest as a couple of FBS offers finally arrived. As a sophomore, Goncalves started the season as a backup tackle for the Panthers. But that did not last long, as Goncalves broke through as the starting right tackle just after the midway point of the season.
Goncalves was named a team captain for the Panthers before the 2023 season. The senior had high expectations for the year ahead and was named a preseason All-ACC tackle. He wanted his last season at Pitt to be his best. It was not until his pro day at Pitt that Goncalves was finally cleared. At 6-6 and 317 pounds, Goncalves ran a 5.20 40-yard dash with a 30.5-inch vertical and 19 reps on the bench press. It was a solid showing by Goncalves but would have been better with more time to train.
