Carlin Says: "Matt is a solid, versatile, tough defender who also likes to attack forward from wide positions. We will rely on him to be an immediate impact player either in the back or midfield line. He comes not only from a club that is no stranger to Villanova in PDA but from a tremendous soccer family as his brother just graduated from University of South Carolina after a very successful college career. We know Matt will be a welcome addition to our Villanova family."
