Julian Mason is finally getting his turn for Idaho State
In the 2026 season, Julian Mason enters as a fifth-year Idaho State wideout whose production has been modest but whose opportunity is rising fast: he already showed he can handle volume with 8 catches for 77 yards in the Bengals’ 2026 opener against VMI, and he has worked his way from depth piece to trusted veteran. The big appeal is patience, reliability, and toughness—coaches and local coverage describe him as a player who kept grinding for years, which can be exactly the kind of low-drama, high-trust receiver a team wants in the room.
