I want to express my sympathy and condolences to the family of Matt Knutson, a gentle giant. I remember getting to know Matt and his family in Orlando during the recruiting process. I now live in Florida, and as I landed in Orlando on Tuesday, I did reflect on my trip to his home. I have been a friend of Matt's on Facebook for a while, and have been watching him as a loving husband and father. My heart goes out to his family for their loss. He will be remembered as a kind and gentle person. He was exceptional as a talent as a player and golfer. He was taken was too soon, as I guess God needed a big Right Tackle for his team. May he Rest In Peace and his family find comfort in the fact Matt was a extremely loved person. God Bless.

Please accept my condolences, I am very sorry for your loss. The times that I met with "Big Matt" I saw a gentleman. He was quiet, reserved and respectable. Jesse, thanks for sharing the stories of "Big Matt"! I continue to pray for the many Family and Friends! I apologize as I was unable to make it to see you guys after work yesterday.🙏🏻

BJ, Corbin and Matt, and the rest of the family. I pray God grants you peace in these coming days. Matt was such an awesome guy. His days of being "peachy" are now days of being home with God. We will miss him for awhile, and one day we'll meet him in the Promise Land. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
