Matthew Ryan Araiza (born May 16, 2000) is an American professional football punter for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the San Diego State Aztecs, setting the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) season record for average punt yardage as a junior. Araiza entered the National Football League (NFL) as a sixth-round selection by the Buffalo Bills in the 2022 NFL draft, but he was released prior to the 2022 season after being accused in a lawsuit of gang rape. The San Diego County District Attorney declined to press criminal charges.
Araiza grew up in San Diego, California, and attended Rancho Bernardo High School, where he played football and soccer, and was a hurdler on the track and field team.[1] He made 37 field goals and was a two-time All-America selection as a placekicker.[2] Araiza committed to play college football at San Diego State University (SDSU) over offers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the University of Montana.[3]
At SDSU, Araiza was redshirted his true freshman season for the Aztecs. He served as the backup to All-Mountain West Conference kicker John Baron II.[4] Araiza became the team's placekicker as a redshirt freshman and made a school-record 22 field goals on 26 attempts and was named honorable mention All-Mountain West.[5] Araiza made 10 of 14 field goal attempts in SDSU's COVID-19-shortened 2020 season and was named honorable mention All-Mountain West for a second straight season. He assumed punting duties during the team's opening game against UNLV and averaged 49.8 yards on five punts.[6]
In 2021, Araiza was named first-string punter in addition to his kicking duties going into his redshirt junior season and was named a midseason All-American by ESPN at the position.[7][8] He finished the season averaging 51.19 yards per punt, breaking the NCAA record set by Texas A&M's Braden Mann in 2018 (50.98) and earning himself the nickname "Punt God" from fans.[9][10] Araiza has stated that he does not "necessarily love the nickname", though he recognized it as a "huge compliment".[11] Araiza won the Ray Guy Award as the top punter in the nation,[12] and he became the second player in Aztecs history to be named a unanimous All-American.[13] Following the end of the season, Araiza announced that he would be foregoing his final season of eligibility to enter the 2022 NFL draft.[14]
The Buffalo Bills selected Araiza in the sixth round with the 180th overall pick of the 2022 NFL draft.[17] He was the third punter selected in the draft,[18] behind two others in the fourth round.[19] As a rookie, he was named the Bills' starting punter following the release of veteran Matt Haack.[20] Araiza did not dress for the Bills' final preseason game on August 26, 2022, one day after a lawsuit accusing him and two former SDSU teammates of rape became public.[21] He was released the next day, on August 27.[22][23] The Bills said they had become aware of the allegations against Araiza in July, after he was drafted.[24]
Araiza signed with the Kansas City Chiefs on February 22, 2024, after he had been dropped from the suit.[25]
Araiza is of Mexican descent through his father who was born in Mexico.[26][27] He has one older brother.[28]
In 2022, Araiza was named as a defendant in a civil case in which two SDSU teammates and he were accused of gang raping a then-17-year-old girl, who was under the age of consent in California, at an off-campus party in 2021.[23][13][29][30] Araiza has denied the allegations.[31][32] His lawyer described the allegations as "a money grab" from the accuser, while she stated that she reported the incident the day after the alleged rape, before she was aware of Araiza's background.[33]
The San Diego County District Attorney's Office did not file criminal charges against Araiza or the other two teammates, stating, "Ultimately, prosecutors determined it is clear the evidence does not support the filing of criminal charges and there is no path to a potential criminal conviction".[34] Prior to the announcement, the office met with the accuser and her attorney to discuss their decision to not press charges.[35] Based on a witness and other information, the district attorney's office stated that Araiza could not have been involved as he had "left the party at 12:30 [am]",[36][37] about 30 minutes before the first of about nine short videos of sex acts of the alleged encounter.[35] The accuser's lawyer said that the witness was a "buddy".[36] Araiza does not appear in the videos, each less than 10 seconds long.[35][36] According to the accuser's lawyer, police had the accuser make a pretext phone call to Araiza wherein he admitted that they had sex, which he said was consensual, claimed that the accuser lied to him about her age[38][39] and said that he remained outside afterwards "for the rest of the party."[39] On July 28, 2023, Araiza filed a defamation lawsuit against his accuser.[40]
On December 12, 2023, Araiza and his accuser mutually agreed to drop their respective lawsuits against each other with neither party admitting any wrongdoing and no money changing hands. Araiza retained the right to sue his accuser's lawyer, Dan Gilleon.[41]
