ORLANDO – The UCF men’s soccer team has announced its second addition to the 2026 fall roster, welcoming transfer goalkeeper Matisse Hebert to the Black and Gold from the Wisconsin Badgers.
Matisse Hébert – Junior Goalkeeper – Saint-Jérôme, Québec, Canada – Wisconsin
A two-year veteran with the Wisconsin Badgers in 2024 and 2025, Hébert brings 28 collegiate matches and close to 2,400 Division I minutes’ worth of experience to Orlando.
The three-time Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Week selection has posted a 1.20 goals-against average throughout his collegiate career thus far, accompanied by 61 career saves and 10 clean sheets.
He yielded two or fewer goals in ten of his 13 starts in 2025, allowed one or fewer tallies eight times, and secured four clean sheets, and posted a single-season career best 37 saves accompanied by a .673 save percentage.
The Québec, Canada, native garnered his third career Goalkeeper of the Week honor for his effort against Ohio State Oct. 3, a standout showing that saw him make eight saves in his second shutout of the season.
Hébert in 2024 kicked off his collegiate career with two straight shutouts against Marist and Drexel, making a pair of saves between the two contests, and yielded one or fewer goals in each of his first five starts, later adding his third shutout in his first five matches against then-No. 16 Kentucky Sept. 6. He also earned his first two career Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Week honors for his dominant showings over Marist, Drexel and Kentucky.
Two games later, Hébert notched his second win over a ranked opponent in the Badgers’ 4-1 win over then-No. 12 UCLA Sept. 16, making a pair of saves in the contest, and later made a season high five saves against Rutgers Oct. 4.
Prior to his collegiate tenure, he also played with the CF Montréal Academy program from U10 to second team.
