Grown in America: Matt Fordham Profile

What does dependable look like in college soccer? Try a fifth-year defender who walked on, earned a starting spot, battled back from injury, and keeps moving forward.

That’s UMass veteran Matt Fordham — and his fuel is as reliable as his 1v1 defending: PB&Js since grade school, peanut butter on toast with banana before training, and on-the-go snacks when recovery can’t wait.

Peanuts deliver 7g of plant-based protein per ounce, plus fiber, good fats, and more than 30 vitamins and minerals, the practical edge for a long season. Matt’s game is steady, gritty, and improving year after year, exactly the ethos of the Health Nut Club.

This feature comes from The18’s Grown in America: Play Fueled by Peanuts series with the National Peanut Board.
