After Jake Fromm decided to forgo his senior season to prepare for the NFL Draft and Jamie Newman opted out of the season due to concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, Mathis was expected to compete for the starting job. [5] He got the start in their opening game at Arkansas. [6] After a disappointing first half, Stetson Bennett came in and took his spot. The next time Mathis got meaningful playing time was against rival Florida. [7] On November 28, 2020, Mathis left the team and entered the transfer portal.

[13] In a game against Memphis, Mathis had a record setting day completing 35 passes for 322 yards and three touchdowns. [14] Mathis finished the season with six touchdowns, 1,223 yards, and 116 completions. [15] During the season it was rumored that Mathis had left the Owl's program, but he later publicly announced he would be staying with the team. [16] [17]
The following season, Mathis was once again named the starting quarterback. [18] [19] [20] With Mathis at the helm, Temple was shutout in a 30–0 loss to Duke, in which he contributed 83 yards on 11 completions. [21] The following week, Mathis was benched in favor of true freshman E.J. Warner. [22] Subsequently, Mathis began taking practice reps at wide receiver, before switching positions. [23]
On October 15, 2023, Mathis announced that he would enter the transfer portal for the second time. [24]
In 2024, Mathis transferred to Davenport University to play for the Davenport Panthers. [25]
