Bryan Mattison (born May 15, 1984) is an American football center who is currently a free agent. He was signed by the New York Jets as an undrafted free agent in 2008, and has also been a member of the Baltimore Ravens, St. Louis Rams, and the Kansas City Chiefs. He played college football as a defensive end at Iowa.
Mattison is the son of current University of Michigan defensive line coach Greg Mattison.
Mattison was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, during his father's employment as an assistant football coach with Western Michigan University. Due to the nature of his father's profession, the Mattison family moved several times in Bryan's youth, living in Michigan, Maryland, Texas, Michigan again, and Indiana. Mattison graduated from Penn High School in Mishawaka, Indiana while his father was serving as an assistant at nearby Notre Dame.
While at Penn High School, Mattison was named one of the top 50 players in the State of Indiana by the Indiana Football Coaches Association and was also an Associated Press first team all-state selection. As a senior, he collected 70 tackles, seven sacks and 16 tackles for loss en route to leading his team to a Class 5-A sectional championship. He was a two-year starter and also led his rugby union team to a state championship. He played in the 2003 U.S. Army All-American Bowl alongside fellow Iowa Hawkeye Drew Tate. Despite his father's precense on the Notre Dame staff, Mattison was not offered a scholarship to play for the Fighting Irish. Instead, he chose Iowa over offers from Colorado, Illinois, and Indiana.
