Freshman linebacker Mason Helfmann adds local toughness and depth for St. Thomas
Mason Helfmann enters the 2026 season as a freshman linebacker for St. Thomas, listed at 5-9, 204 pounds, and already projected as depth in the Tommies’ linebacker room[1][6]. He comes from St. Louis Park, where he played both running back and linebacker, which hints at a physical, two-way-athlete background and some built-in instinct for contact and leverage[1][6]. He was also recognized as a district defensive player of the year in 2024, so he brings more than just roster-fill energy — there’s real football production behind the profile[9].
