Cornerback
No. 38
Ohio State
"Mathis played cornerback and strong safety for Woody Hayes' Big Ten champs in 1972 and 1973. He led the Buckeyes in interceptions with three in his junior year and also had 42 unassisted tackles that year to lead the defensive backs. Lou missed the '73 Rose Bowl with an injury but bounced back in the fall.
Lou's biggest football thrill was 'knocking Archie Griffin out in a scrimmage.' He does the 40 in 4.6.
Mathis was a 12-letter man at Paterson (New Jersey) East Side High, excelling in football, basketball and track; he captained all three teams as a senior. He majored in black studies at OSU. His birthplace is Clinton, North Carolina."
