Mason Beaver is flashing early backfield juice at North Dakota
In the 2026 season, North Dakota freshman DT Mason Beaver has already shown disruptive pop, with ESPN listing him at 1 tackle through the first two games and local coverage noting he’s been getting into the backfield in fall camp. The 6-foot-2, 280-pound Missouri product brings a power profile that fits the interior line, backed by a reported 475-pound bench and 550-pound squat, plus a reputation as a high-motor, physically ready true freshman. If a team wants a developmental interior brawler with upside and early playmaking instincts, Beaver looks like a fit.
