On this week's episode of REDBLACKS Unfiltered we are joined by offensive lineman, Alex Mateas.

In our conversation we discuss all of the different sports Alex played growing up including soccer and weightlifting. We then talk about his year at Penn State and why he ended up transferring to UCONN. He also gives a peak behind the current into what it was like going 1st overall in the CFL draft and the experience of his first season learning from vets like Jon Gott and Sir Vincent Rogers.

We  also dive into Alex's life off the field, his involvement in the community, business ventures and new job as a commercial real estate agent.
