Matlock was drafted by the Los Angeles Chargers in the sixth round, 200th overall, of the 2023 NFL draft.[5] In his rookie year Matlock played in 12 games and recorded 14 total tackles.
In his sophomore season, Matlock became a two-way player under new head coach Jim Harbaugh and became the team's starting fullback while continuing to play defensive tackle. New Chargers offensive coordinator Greg Roman had previously worked with hybrid fullback/defensive end Patrick Ricard during his tenure as the offensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens. Matlock previously had experience as a two-way player at the collegiate level, where he occasionally played tight end in addition to his primary position of defensive end at Boise State.[6] In Week 1 of the 2024 season in his first game as a two way player, he played 18 offensive snaps, 16 defensive snaps, and 14 special teams snaps and did not log any other statistics in a 22-10 win against the Las Vegas Raiders. Matlock recorded a tackle and his first career pass deflection the following week against the Carolina Panthers as the Chargers won 26-3. Matlock recorded his first NFL reception for seven yards in a Week 4 loss against the Kansas City Chiefs. In Week 8, Matlock recorded his first career sack against the New Orleans Saints, along with one tackle and one reception for nine yards in a 26-8 win for the Chargers.
