He was loyal to Sark, thought about transferring but stuck it out and is poised for a breakthrough season in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Last season he started 7 games and played in 11. He was tied for 5th in the Pac-12 with 2 forced fumbles. He finished the year with 30 tackles and 6 tfl&#8217;s. His play started to show at the end of 2014 when he had two sacks in the last three games. So he&#8217;s had 8 tfl&#8217;s in his last 14 games.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind he hasn&#8217;t been a full time player as he was behind All-American Haouli Kikaha in 2014 and both Travis Feeney and Cory Littleton last season. Both combined for 28.5 tfl&#8217;s and 14 sacks last season.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I believe replacing those two (at the BUCK\/OLB position) is the biggest question for the Dawgs heading into 2016. Jojo Mathis has &#8220;showed&#8221; so far in reserve duty and limited starter duty. A breakout season from him would help answer that question mark for the Dawgs.<\/p>\n<p>Christian Caple of the News Tribune, who has been a guest on our show also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenewstribune.com\/sports\/college\/pac-12\/university-of-washington\/article69148472.html\" target=\"_blank\">wrote about Mathis here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Percy Allen of the Times has a good piece on Jojo Mathis and his personal evolution in recent years.
