Not so sure now. I saw a post on fb questioning if it was the football player of the same name:

Palumbo said the family posted it. It's our Mendenhall.

This is one of the most impressive bodybuilding photos I've ever seen.  He was the complete package.  I also never knew he didn't turn pro.  Speaks to the absolute greatness of that era in bodybuilding.  PIP

That last picture is one that I have autographed by Matt when he guest posed at the Philadelphia Muscle Mania.  He was making a come back to the National NPC stage after a couple of years removed.  His calves were amazing in person.  Unfortunately, he competed in the hardest HW class ever seen before.

This assclown would probably have no shame elaborating with a serious face all the bad genetic predispositions running in all of their families :D

Palumbo is just as fkn bad and deceiving. He completely tried to shift the blame of McCarvers death to genetics… Palumbo/RX need a good calling out. I think Shawn Ray’s current ranting may have guys like Palumbo sweating 😓 bullets

Yes RIP! Matt Mendenhall had it all. He had more potential than even Arnold IMO. 61 is just too soon this really sucks. People are dropping like flies lately.

Well yes 61 is on the young side but not ridiculously so. If male life expectancy is 75 years or so, a full 50 percent of men go before 75. You would think this was a Dallas McCarver situation from the posts here.
