Matt Wadleigh

Matt Wadleigh covers the NIL on FanNation, writing about all of the topsy-turvy deals in the whacky world of college sports. Matt also works as a staff writer for Trojans Wire and Buffaloes Wire at USA Today and covers sports as a whole at ClutchPoints. In the past, Matt has written for various sites, including FanSided, Sportscasting, and many others.

Matt attended Fresno State and is a Bulldogs fan through and through, but grew up in Southern California and still holds loyalties to the Padres, Chargers, Lakers, and Aztecs basketball. It's not always easy being a San Diego sports fan, but the future looks bright. Hopefully.
