Following his high school career, he decided to join Indiana University. As a freshman with the Hoosiers, Mathison played 59 games with 57 starts. He slashed .273/.393/.608 (average, on base %, slugging), driving in 58 RBI with 11 doubles and 19 home runs. He also stole 8 bases. He was named to the All-Big 10 Freshman team and was Freshman All-American via Collegiate Baseball. Last season as a sophomore, Mathison started 61 games, playing a few at each corner outfield spot, but mostly starting as a DH. He took a step forward at the plate slashing .311/.426/.538 with 49 RBI, 15 doubles, and 10 home runs. This year is Mathison's junior season.
